[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][D]
[C][D][C][D]
[C][D][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Walked to the [G]driveway,
opened [Em]the door to the car
Turned the [D]key, found your future
[G]in that ped[C]al on the floor
Hands on the [G]wheel,
eyes straight [Em]ahead
I won't be in that [D]rear view
or tomorrow
[G]Or where you're go[C]ing
when you get there

[Verse 2]
Let your [D]wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your [G]heartbreak beat to the ra[C]dio

[Verse 3]
This is where [G]the past is the past
Where the meant- to- [C]be's
ain't meant to last
Where the [D]"maybe we could work it
out[G]" turns into "maybe we can't"
[C]This is where the[G] memories we missed
are catching [C]dust in a picture frame
Where the [D]hopin' turns to knowin'
that there [C]ain't no going back

[Verse 4]
[G]Hands on the wheel, eyes straight [C]ahead
[D]I w[C]on't be in that rear
view or tomorrow
Or where you're going
when you get there

[Verse 5]
I'll be painting the bed[G]room
I'll be working a [Em]lot
Boxing up all the [D]used to be's
Forgetting things 'til [C]it's
all been forgot

[Verse 6]
Letting [D]you go
Letting you go
Let my [G]heartbreak beat to the ra[C]dio

[Verse 7]
This is where the [G]past is the past
Where the meant- to- [C]be's
ain't meant to last
Where [D]the "maybe we could work it
out" turns [G]in to "maybe we can't"
[C]This is where the mem[G]ories we missed
are catching [C]dust in a picture frame
Where the [D]hopin' turns to knowin'
that there [C]ain't no going back
This is where [G]the past is the [C]pas[D]t
This is where the past [C]is the past

[Verse 8]
Only [D]time can say what
we're taking [C]from it
We [D]say goodbye like it helps
but we know it [C]doesn't
Yeah, [D]we thought it was but in
the end it just [C]wasn't

[Verse 9]
So let your [D]wheels roll
Let your wheels roll

[Verse 10]
Let my heartbreak beat to the radio
[D]This is [G]where the past is [C]the past
Where the [D]meant- to- be's
ain't [C]meant to last
Where the [G]"maybe we could work it out"
turns in[C]to "maybe we can't"
This is where the memories [D]we missed start
[C]catching dust in a picture frame
Where the hopin' turns [G]to knowin' that
there ain't no going back
This is where the [C]past[D]
is the past
[C]This is where [G]the pas[C]t
is [D]the [C]past

[Outro 1]
