verse 1
C F C
They didn't ever say where we were going
F G
We just climbed into the backseat
G Am7
Eyes wide open to the picture show outside
Am7 F
I guess we really didn't understand it all
C F C
Remember looking up at them in the furrow
F G
Hands touched together, almost outta sight
G Am7
It's been a long, hard week but now the slow release
F
Of a Sunday afternoon
G Am F
And we were only young but they were trying hard to reach us
G Am F
How was I to know that there was something so worth keeping?
Chorus
F
'Cause we were
C
Watching the world through an open window
Dm7
Trees lined up like dominoes
C
This old car could find its own way home
F
It's the ordinary things that mean so much
G Am
That's where I learned it all, from them
F C
To fight, to love, to laugh again
G Am F
Man, I thought we were only wasting time
F C F C F
Out on a Sunday drive
verse 2
C F C
The song warms your soul just like an old friend
G
Singing songs along that river, never old
Am
And everyone you love is sitting there, so close
Am7 F
You're never thinking that you'd ever get old
F
No, you'll never get old
Chorus
C
Just watching the world through an open window
Em
Trees lined up like dominoes
C
This old car could find its own way home
F
It's the ordinary things that mean so much
G Am
That's where I learned it all, from them
F C
To fight, to love, to laugh again
G Am F
Man, I thought we were only wasting time
F C F G Am C F G
Out on a Sunday drive, oh
verse 3
C F C
I never said where we were going
G
I just helped them to the back seat
G
Dad, just laughed and said
Am
'Son, don't drive too far'
Am F
Your momma gets pretty tired these days
C F C F
After a few miles I guess they recognized some places
G
And I listened as they reminisced
G Am
About a world that they had always known
Am
And how it's changing
F
Probably never gonna be the same again
G Am F
I caught 'em in the mirror, they were holding hands and smiling
G Am F
Looking younger than they'd been in years
F
Oh, through all the years
Chorus
F
And they were
C
Watching the world through an open window
Em
Trees lined up like dominoes
C
This old car could find its own way home
F
It's the ordinary things that mean so much
G Am
That's where I learned it all, from them
F C
To fight, to love, to laugh again
G Am F
Man, I thought we were only wasting time
F C
Out on a Sunday drive
