Intro
[Bb/D][Csus4][B#][Csus4]



Verse 1
[B#]If I wanted to know who you were [Csus4]hanging with
While I was [Csus4]gone I would have asked you
[B#]It's the kind of cold, fogs up [Csus4]windshield glass
But I [Csus4]felt it when I passed you
[B#]There's an ache in you put there by the [Csus4]ache in me
[B#]But if it's all the same to you
It's the [Csus4]same to me

Chorus
So we could call it [Em]even
You could call me babe for the weekend[Em]
'Tis the damn season, write this [Eb]down
I'm stayin' at my parents' [Eb]house
And the [Eb]road not taken looks real good now
And it [A#]always leads to you [Csus4]in my [A#]hometown [Csus4]

Verse 2
[B#]I parkеd my car right between the [Csus4]Methodist
And thе [Csus4]school that used to be ours
[B#]The holidays linger like [Csus4]bad perfume
You can [Csus4]run, but only so far
[B#]I escaped it too, remember how you [Csus4]watched me leave
[B#]But if it's okay with you, it's [Csus4]okay with me

Chorus
We could call it [Em]even
You could call me babe for the weekend[Em]
'Tis the damn season, write this [Eb]down
I'm stayin' at my parents' house [Eb]
And the [Eb]road not taken looks real good now
[Em]Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
Now I'm [Em]missing your smile, hear me [Eb]out
We could just ride around [Eb]
And the [Eb]road not taken looks real good now
And it [A#]always leads to you [Csus4]in my [A#]hometown [Csus4]

Bridge
[Em]Sleep in half the day [Eb]just for old times' sake
[A#]I won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay
So I'll go back to [Em]L.A. and the so-called friends
Who'll write [Em]books about me, if I ever make it
And [Eb]wonder about the only soul
Who can [Eb]tell which smiles I'm fakin'
And the [A#]heart I know I'm breakin'[Csus4] is my [A#]own [Csus4]
To [B#]leave the warmest bed I've ever [A#]known
We could call it [B#]even[A#]
Even though I'm [B#]leavin'[A#]
And I'll be yours [B#]for the weekend
'Tis the damn [A#]season

Chorus
We could call it [Em]even
You could call me babe for the weekend[Em]
'Tis the damn season, write this [Eb]down
I'm stayin' at my parents' [Eb]house
And the [Eb]road not taken looks real good now
[Em]Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
Now I'm [Em]missing your smile, hear me [Eb]out
We could just ride around [Eb]
And the [Eb]road not taken looks real good now
And it [A#]always leads to you [Csus4]in my [A#]hometown[Csus4]
It [B#]always leads to you in my hometown [Csus4][B#][Csus4]⠀
