Intro: E 

Verse 

E 
I didn't wrap my head in roses, I didn't run screaming down the street 
           Am 
I didn't drive off jagged cliffs 
    C               E 
or dive in roaring seas 

E 
I broke no cage door open, I set no horses free 
             Am 
The day the girl at the drive-thru window 
C                 E 
Softly smiled at me 


Pre-Chorus 

B 
Actually I did nothing 
        A                      E 
as she handed me a large iced tea 
    B 
an extra packet of ketchup 
         A            E 
a small bag of onion rings 

C#m F# I didn't even smile back at her A E I just pulled into the street C#m F# Searching my rear view mirror A E To catch her eyes on me B 'Cause there were cars behind me A E and I had somewhere else to be
Solo E Am C E Verse E Down the street I saw an old man eating as he drove Am running over empty cans C E lying in the road E But the billboards near the highway were full of singing birds Am and all the trees were blooming green C E in their little squares of dirt
C#m F# Every dog chained in every yard A E was howling with me C#m F# But I didn't even smile back at her A E I just pulled into the street B 'Cause there were cars behind me A E and I had somewhere else to be
