Drive & Cry chords

[Intro]
A7
 
 
[Chorus]
D7
Think I’m gonna drive and cry
D7
I’m overdue for a tire rotation
              G7
And bloodshot eyes
          A7
Don’t you worry ‘bout me
A7
I’m gonna have a bawl
A7
That’s my kind of high
                               D7
I think I’m gonna drive and cry
 
 
[Verse 1]
  G7
I gotta weep softly so I can still see
    D7

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



And trace the white lines, keep the road under me
       G7
If the floodgates burst open I’ll pull up to a spot
    E7                            A7
A romantic overlook, sit with the lovers and sob, I
 
 
[Chorus]
D7
Think I’m gonna drive and cry
D7
I’m overdue for a tire rotation
              G7
And bloodshot eyes
          A7
Don’t you worry ‘bout me
A7
I’m gonna have a bawl
A7
That’s my kind of high
                               D7
I think I’m gonna drive and cry
 
 
[Verse 2]
G7
Windows rolled down, lonesome tunes turned up
  D7
I play it so loud so no one can disrupt
     G7
If I hit a stoplight, sunglasses are on
  E7                           A7              D7
I buy 'em real big, no telling what’s goin’ on
 
 
[Pedal Steel Solo]
G7   D7   G7   E7  A7  D7
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
D7   G7   A7   D7
 
 
[Verse 3]
G7
Once the weeping well has run dry
     D7
I’ll head home in silence with my swollen eyes
      G7
Spend who knows how long in my driveway
         E7                           A7
With the rest of my thoughts until my next cryin’ day, I
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
D7
Think I’m gonna drive and cry
D7
I’m overdue for a tire rotation
              G7
And bloodshot eyes
          A7
Don’t you worry ‘bout me
A7
I’m gonna have a bawl
A7
That’s my kind of high
                               D7
I think I’m gonna drive and cry
A7
That’s my kind of high
                               D7
I think I’m gonna drive and cry
