My version by ear.
Capo 2
D
After the breakup,
A
I really thought we'd make up.
Bm
Give her a little time, I'd be on her mind
G
And suddenly she'd wake up.
D
But today if you listen,
A
Softly off in the distance,
Bm
Somewhere 'cross town, you can hear the sound
G
Of wedding bells ringing.
G
And there's bird seed on the concrete,
D A
And she's waving goodbye
G
And they're driving away
D A G
And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade
D A
Yeah she's really gone,
G A A7
I thought someday that would be me
D A
But now she's driving away in that limousine
G
And I'm holdin' on
A D
Like a tin can on a string.
D
Somewhere in my mind,
A
I'm the one by her side.
Bm
In that backseat, talkin' 'bout the beach
G
And that honeymoon flight.
D
I'd play the whole thing out,
A
From the kids to the house,
Bm G
To the future that we always dreamed about.
G
But there's bird seed on the concrete,
D A
And back here in reality
G
She's driving away
D A G
And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade
D A
Yeah she's really gone,
G A A7
I thought someday that would be me
D A
But now she's driving away in that limousine
G
And I'm holdin' on
A D
Like a tin can on a string.
D G A D
G A A7
I thought someday that would be me
D A
But now she's driving away in that limousine
Bm G
And I'm not ready to let go of everything
D A
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
*Short Pause*
D
Like a tin can on a string.
*Play The Ending Off However You Want*
