[Opening]
[Bb]I got my driver’s license last week
[Bb]Just like we always talked about
[Gm]‘Cause you were so excited for me
[Gm]To finally drive up to your house
[D#]But today I drove through the suburbs
[D#]Crying ’cause you weren’t around [Bb]

[section 2]
[Bb]And you’re probably with that blonde girl
[Bb]Who always made me doubt
[Gm]She’s so much older than me
[Gm]She’s everything I’m insecure about
[D#]Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs
[Bb]‘Cause how could I ever love someone else?

[chorus]
And [D#]I know we weren’t perfect
But [D#]I’ve never felt this way for no [Bb]one
And [D#]I just can’t imagine
How [D#]you could be so okay now that [Bb]I’m gone?
Guess [Gm]you didn’t [F]mean what you [Bb]wrote in that song about [D#]me
‘Cause [D#]you said forever, now [F]I drive alone past your [Bb]street

[section 3]
[Bb]And all my friends are tired
[Bb]Of hearing how much I miss you, but
[Gm]I kinda feel sorry for them
[Gm]‘Cause they’ll never know you the way that I do, yeah
[D#]Today I drove through the suburbs
[D#]And pictured I was driving home to [Bb]you

[chorus]
And [D#]I know we weren’t perfect
But [D#]I’ve never felt this way for no [Bb]one, oh
[D#]And I just can’t imagine
[D#]How you could be so okay now that [Bb]I’m gone?
I guess [Gm]you didn’t [F]mean what you [Bb]wrote in that song about [D#]me
[D#m]‘Cause you said forever, now [F]I drive alone past your [Bb]street

[Closing]
[Gm]Red lights, stop signs
[D#]I still see your face in the [Bb]white cars, front yards
[D#]Can’t drive past the places we [Gm]used to go to
‘Cause [D#]I still fuckin’ love you, [Bb]babe (Ooh, [F]ooh)
[Gm]Sidewalks we crossed
[D#]I still hear your voice in the [Bb]traffic, we’re laughing
[F]Over all the noise
God, I’m [Gm]so blue, know we’re through
But [D#]I still fuckin’ love you, ba[Bb]be (Ooh, [F]ooh)

[chorus]
[D#]I know we weren’t perfect
But I’ve never felt this way for no [Bb]one
And [D#]I just can’t imagine
How you could be so okay now that [Bb]I’m gone?
Guess [Gm]you didn’t [Fm]mean what you [Dm]wrote in that [F]song about [D#]me
‘Cause [Cm]you said forever, now [F]I drive alone past your [Bb]street
Yeah, [Cm]you said forever, now [F]I drive alone past your [Bb]street
