[Intro]
C G D
Hey, so it's a really long story
C G D
But I've been drivin' all afternoon
C G D
(I-I-I-I-I've)
Am G C D
(Drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin')
[Verse 1]
G C D
I've been drivin' all afternoon
G C D
But I hate to say it, I won't be there soon
G C D
And though I'm late, you know I just can't wait
Em G C D
To come home to my slice of heaven on toast
G C D
But my Grand Prix broke down without fail
G C D
Another flat tire and another nail
G C D
I miss your smile but this could take a while
Em Am C D
'Cause this "Road Closed" sign says there's no way around
[Chorus]
Am G D Am
No, first I felt kinda sad but I said out loud
G D
"You know, this isn't so bad?"
Am G Em E
Your photograph on my dash knows it's true
C G C D G C D
It might take me forever, but I can't wait to see you
[Verse 2]
G C D
I've been trudgin' since 2 AM
G C D
On the side of this highway, 'cause back there when
G C
I patched that flat, I ran on fumes
D Em G C D
And that was a bad move 'cause yeah, I ran out of gas
A D E
The heavens opened, the rain came down
A D E
Now I'm soaked to the bone, but I'm homeward bound
A D E
So I just don't care how much I have to bear
F#m Bm D E
'Cause you'll be there when I walk in through the door
[Chorus]
Bm A E Bm
So down this road I will run and only stop to buy you
A E
A bouquet for no reason
Bm A F#m D
Hey, it's kinda crazy what daisies can do
D A D E D A E
It might take me forever, but I can't wait to see you
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Bm A D E
Well hey, I'd say that the real question is
D A E
unavoidably detained
D F#m E
Or extremely fashionably late?
D A E
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
Bm A D
It just really hasn't been my day
E
But, I'm on my way
D A E
unavoidably detained
D F#m E
Or just unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
D A E
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
Bm A D
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
E A A D E
But I'm on my way
[Verse 3]
A D E
If I blew in by daybreak, I'd be in luck
A D E
I'd hand you a coffee right when you woke up
A D E
But my ETA just jumped to MIA
F#m A D E
And I'm so lost, my mind is startin' to stray
F# B E F#
Let's say I fly to Kathmandu
B E F#
To show the whole world I got a lot to prove
B E F#
But all I find is all these highways wind
G#m C#m E F#
And lead back to my slice of heaven on toast
[Chorus]
C#m B F# C#m
Oh, would your heart kinda glow if I held your hand
B E
And I promised to stay home?
C#m B G#m F#
Hey, when I blow in that's the first thing I'll do
E B E F#
It might take me forever
E B E F#
It might take me forever
E B E F# E B F#
But I love you forever, and I can't wait to see you
[Post-Chorus]
E B F#
Yeah
E B F#
C#m B E F#
E B F#
E B F#
E B F#
[Bridge]
C#m B E F#
Woo! Hey, I'd say that the real question is
E B F#
unavoidably detained
E G#m D
Or extremely fashionably late?
E B F#
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
C#m B E
It just really hasn't been my day
F#
But, I'm on my way
E B F#
unavoidably detained
E G#m F#
Or just unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
E B F#
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
C#m B E
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
F# B
But I'm on my way, yeah
[Outro]
B E F#
I've been drivin' all afternoon
G#m B E F#
But I hate to say it, I won't be there soon
