From The Backseat(Chords)

	        
 
 

        G              C 
We were burning in a '94 Corolla, 
  G                C 
3 hours deep into South Dakota. 
      G                     C 
I was workin' on a lukewarm Coca-Cola 
       G            C 
In the dog days of July. 
       G                   C 
And my dad was a Superman stick shift driver, 
G                  C 
Stay at home Lois Lane beside him, 
G                            C 
Kissing to the rhythm of the billboard signs, 
    G                 C 
As they went blurring by. 
    D 
And even when he would stop to pull over, 
He never took his hand off of her shoulder... 

C               G 
You can see for miles, 
                  Em 
You can reach the dials, 
             D 
Sit back and smile from the front seat. 
 C                G 
You can chase the sun, 
                 Em                D 
You can feel the hum of the axles underneath your feet. 
C                       G 
When you're sitting shotgun, 
Em                        D 
You're sitting pretty and free. 
C                D                 G 
But you learn to love from the backseat.

   G                    C 
So late one day and I'm rolling along, 
       G                 C 
With a part time job and blue pom-poms, 
     G                       C 
Like every day's a knock off Mellencamp song, 
         G                C 
With his hand right on my knee. 
G                   C 
We made the age old prom night promise, 
G                     C 
Put the corsage right where I want it. 
    G                       C 
And we found a road with nobody on it, 
    G                 C 
And we didn't stop to think. 
    D 
And I didn't care when he killed the motor, 
Shut off the lights and we climbed over. 

C               G
