(Strumming Softly)
C G
when we broke down
Am Em
in that small mining town
Am Em
i was ready for quitting
Am C
my guard was down
C G
it was summer all day
Am E
in your dad's chevrolet
E Am G C
and so we decided to stay
E Am G Am
and we want spectacular views
G C Am
if we're to stay for the weekend
E Am
and you swear
G Am
there'll be no bad news
C G E C
if we stay, if we stay without looking back
C G
we'll take a small private room
Am Em
with a window please
Am Em
if it opens that's fine
Em C
to let in the breeze
C G
we've been waiting all year
Am E
for someone to just say
Am C E C
everyone fucks up it's going to be ok
E Am
and the prop planes
G Am
they fly overhead
E C G
you can hear them returning
E Am G Am
and maybe it's all in my head
C G Em C
but i'll save my complaints for tomorrow
C G Am Em
and when you got sick i was sad for some days
C Em
but i'm feeling much better
Am C
i just sleep it away
C G
now it's just like
Am E
we never was
E C G C
some things go bad just because
E Am
and the freeways
G Am
they go coast to coast
E C G C
they've taken away all my good friends
E Am G Am
and i don't care if you're broke
C G E C
you can't stay here tomorrow
E Am G Am
and the dreams have come back again
G C E
but this time i'm not just watching them
E Am G Am
its me as pilot instead
C G E C
and i land the plane all by myself
C G E C
no you can't stay here tomorrow

Lyrics
Verse 1
When we broke down, in that small mining town,
I was ready for quittin', my guard was down,
It was summer all day, in your dad's chevrolet,
and so we decided to stay
Chorus 1
And we want spectacular views
If we're to stay for the weekend
And you swear, there'll be no bad news
If we stay, if we stay, without looking back
Verse 2
We'll take a small private room, with a window please,
If it opens that's fine, to let in the breeze,
We've been waitin' all year for someone to just say:
Everyone fucks up its gonna be okay
Chorus 2
And the prop planes, they fly overhead
You can hear them returning.
And maybe, it's all in my head
But I'll save my complaints for tomorrow
Verse 3
And when you got sick, I was sad for some days,
But I'm feelin' much better, I just sleep it away.
Now it's just like we never was,
Some things go bad just because.
Chorus 3
And the freeways, they go coast to coast,
They've taken away all my good friends.
And I don't care if you're broke,
You can't stay here tomorrow.
Chorus 4
And the dreams have come back again,
But this time I'm not just watching them.
It's me as pilot instead,
And I land the plane all by myself.
(strum)
C G C
No you can't stay here tomorrow.
