[Intro]
E G A
[Verse 1]
       A
On the on-ramp you said
        G           
"If you love me, you 
                     D
will listen to this song"
            F#m      
And I could tell that 
          E
you were serious
    A                   
So I didn't tell you you 
      G
were driving the wrong way
       F#m             
On the interstate until 
              D
the song was done
E                F#m  
You felt like an idiot 
 A         G           E
adding an hour to the drive
But it gave us more time 
      F#m
to embarrass ourselves
A                  F#m     
Tellin' stories we wouldn't 
      G
tell anyone else

[Chorus]
           F#m             
You said, "I might like you
 E                 A   
 less now that you know
    G D
 me so well"
F#m              E       
I might like you less now 
          A       G D
that you know me so well
[Verse 2]
        A          G    
Leonard Cohen once said, 
            F#m           D
"There's a crack in everything
               A          G
That's how the light gets in"
    F#m         D      
And I am not an old man 
           A   G       E  D
having an existential crisis

                  A    
At a Buddhist monastery
         G        D
 writing horny poetry
       F#m
But I agree
[Chorus]
  D                  
I never thought you'd
 E         A
 happen to me
  D                  
I never thought you'd 
 E         A
happen to me
[Outro]
G E D F#m
