Capo 7th fret
[Verse 1]
G Gmaj7
You lived down the block
C
We met for the first time, at the bus stop
G Gmaj7
We sat side-by-side
C
Third seat from the back, we talked the whole ride
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em C
Six years later, you bought your first car
G D/F#
And you told me to wait outside
Em C
And you pulled up and somebody else
G D/F#
Was sitting in the passenger side
[Chorus 1]
Em C
So I sat in the backseat, it didn't bother me
G D/F#
But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her
Em C
While you talked of movies I've nеver seen
G D/F#
I realized that's how wе used to be
Em C
But now my best friend is the driver
G D/F#
And I'm the backseat rider
[Verse 2]
G Gmaj7
Maybe it's my fault
C
Spent summer break away, and forgot to call
G Gmaj7
But maybe you forgot
C
Around this time last summer, we sat in the parking lot
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em C
And you told me when you got your first car
G D/F#
That you and I would go for a drive
Em C
But now we're here and somebody else
G D/F#
Is sitting in the passenger side
[Chorus 2]
Em C
So I sat in the backseat, it didn't bother me
G D/F#
But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her
Em C
While you talked of movies I've nеver seen
G D/F#
I realized that's how wе used to be
Em C
But now my best friend is the driver
G D/F#
And I'm the backseat rider
[Bridge]
Em C G D/F#
I'll give you back the clothes that you used to borrow
Em C G D/F#
You dropped me off at home, said you'll see me tomorrow
[Chorus 3]
Em C
So I sat in the backseat, it didn't bother me
G D/F#
But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her
Em C
While you talked of movies I've nеver seen
G D/F#
I realized that's how wе used to be
Em C
But now my best friend is the driver
G D/F#
And I'm the backseat rider
[Outro]
Em C G D/F#
I'll give you back the clothes that you used to borrow
Em C G D/F#
You dropped me off at home, said you'll see me tomorrow
Em C G D/F#
Hmmmmmm, hmm-hmmm hmmm
You lived down the block
We met for the first time at the bus stop
We sat side by side
Third seat from the back, we talked the whole ride
Six years later you bought your first car
And you told me to wait outside
Then you pulled up and somebody else
Was sitting in the passenger's side
So I sat in the backseat, it didn't bother me
But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her
While you talked of movies I've never seen
I realized that's how we used to be
But now my best friend is the driver
And I'm the backseat rider
Maybe it's my fault
Spent summer break away and forgot to call
Or maybe you forgot
Around this time last summer, we sat in the parking lot
And you told me when you got your first car
That you and I would go for a drive
But now we're here and somebody else
Is sitting in the passenger's side
So I sat in the backseat, it didn't bother me
But after five weeks of sittin' in silence behind her
While you talked of movies I've never seen
I realized that's how we used to be
But now my best friend is the driver
And I'm the backseat rider
I gave you back the clothes that you used to borrow
You dropped me off at home, said you'll see me tomorrow
And I sit in the backseat, it didn't bother me
But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her
While you talked of movies I've never seen
I realized that's how we used to be
But now my best friend is the driver
And I'm the backseat rider
I gave you back the clothes that you used to borrow
You dropped me off at home, said you'll see me tomorrow
