Verse 1
C/G* G G6sus2 G
I called you
But I'd run out of words
So I stared at the plastic
Collidin' with dirt
C/G* G G6sus2 G
At the fast food
Sign out in Leb
I prepared for the warfare
With the voice in my head
Pre-Chorus
And I thought it was strange
How the letters were placed
How the hiring sign
C/G Csus2/G**
Seemed to laugh in my face
And if you were here, you'd make a joke of it
I'm alone, getting lost in the scope of it
N.C.
And I see you drive in
Chorus
N.C. G C/G G
And your love is like an open flame
I'm a running car, and you're a closed garage
Someone once told us there's a world out thеre
But we don't care enough to drive that far
It's been a damn near perfect day
Just getting high at the outlet mall
Most people grow up and they move away
But you don't care, and I don't mind at all
Interlude
Verse 2
I got the car, you got the bag
A handwritten note left from mom and dad
Police scanner bouncing on the dash
Cup of burnt coffee and a check to cash
I had the brains for a city job
But you got the taste of a county cop
Pack of cigarettes and a round of golf
Make a livin' workin' for the paid time off
Pre-Chorus
Such simple lines
They drew to make this place
In the interest of time
We got a whole lot to waste
Chorus
And your love is like an open flame
I'm a running car, you're a closed garage
Someone once said there's a world out thеre
But we don't care enough to drive that far
It's been a damn near perfect day
Just getting high at the outlet mall
People grow and they move away
But you don't care, and I don't mind at all
Post-Chorus
You don't care, and I don't mind at all
