Intro
[Bb/D] [Csus4] [Bb] [Csus4]
Verse 1
[Bb] If I wanted to know who you were [Csus4] hanging with
While I was [Csus4] gone I would have asked you
[Bb] It's the kind of cold, fogs up [Csus4] windshield glass
But I [Csus4] felt it when I passed you
[Bb] There's an ache in you put there by the [Csus4] ache in me
[Bb] But if it's all the same to you
It's the [Csus4] same to me
Chorus
So we could call it [F] even
You could call me babe for the weekend[F]
'Tis the damn season, write this [Dm] down
I'm stayin' at my parents' [Dm] house
And the [Dm] road not taken looks real good now
And it [C] always leads to you [Csus4] in my [C] hometown [Csus4]
Verse 2
[Bb] I parkеd my car right between the [Csus4] Methodist
And thе [Csus4] school that used to be ours
[Bb] The holidays linger like [Csus4] bad perfume
You can [Csus4] run, but only so far
[Bb] I escaped it too, remember how you [Csus4] watched me leave
[Bb] But if it's okay with you, it's [Csus4] okay with me
Chorus
We could call it [F] even
You could call me babe for the weekend[F]
'Tis the damn season, write this [Dm] down
I'm stayin' at my parents' house [Dm]
And the [Dm] road not taken looks real good now
[F] Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
Now I'm [F] missing your smile, hear me [Dm] out
We could just ride around [Dm]
And the [Dm] road not taken looks real good now
And it [C] always leads to you [Csus4] in my [C] hometown [Csus4]
Bridge
[F] Sleep in half the day [Dm] just for old times' sake
[C] I won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay
So I'll go back to [F] L.A. and the so-called friends
Who'll write [F] books about me, if I ever make it
And [Dm] wonder about the only soul
Who can [Dm] tell which smiles I'm fakin'
And the [C] heart I know I'm breakin'[Csus4] is my [C] own [Csus4]
To [Bb] leave the warmest bed I've ever [C] known
We could call it [Bb] even[C]
Even though I'm [Bb] leavin'[C]
And I'll be yours [Bb] for the weekend
'Tis the damn [C] season
Chorus
We could call it [F] even
You could call me babe for the weekend[F]
'Tis the damn season, write this [Dm] down
I'm stayin' at my parents' [Dm] house
And the [Dm] road not taken looks real good now
[F] Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
Now I'm [F] missing your smile, hear me [Dm] out
We could just ride around [Dm]
And the [Dm] road not taken looks real good now
And it [C] always leads to you [Csus4] in my [C] hometown[Csus4]
It [Bb] always leads to you in my hometown [Csus4] [Bb] [Csus4]
