Caroline Dare - Long Drive

      [Intro]
G Em D C
G Em D C

[Verse]
G
She fakes a smile when she feels broken
Em
So many words go left unspoken
D                                         C
Tries to pretend like there ain’t nothing wrong
G
Walks into school with her head held high
Em
But little do they know how she feels inside
D                                   C
As she watches the days drag on and on

[Prechorus]
C                          G                   D
She tries to find a way to escape from all the pain
Em               C                      D
That mom and dad can’t seem to recognize
C                  G
She’s tired of the weight
D                   Em
Got too much on her plate
C                                  D
So she hops into her car to take a drive

[Chorus]
C                   G
Rolled down windows drivin down a backroad
D                       Em
Crankin up her favorite song
C
Don’t know where she’s headed
G
She don’t need directions
D                           Em
She’ll be driving all night long
C                          G
The sweet taste of freedom in the air that she’s breathing
D                   Em
Just trying to feel alive
C                         G
Ain’t no lookin back now, she’s gone off the tracks now
D                    Em
It’s gonna be a long drive

[Verse]
G
Daddy left home when she turned 15
Em
Nobody said life was easy
D                              C
Tear dried eyes staring at the ceiling
G
Mama went off and got remarried
Em
Lost her job and just stopped caring
D                                     C
Heart gone numb to feelings not worth bearing

[2nd Prechorus]
C                          G                   D
She tries to find a way to escape from all the pain
Em               C                      D
That no one else can seem to recognize
C                  G
She’s tired of the weight
D                   Em
Got too much on her plate
C                                  D
So she hops into her car to take a drive

[Chorus]
C                   G
Rolled down windows drivin down a backroad
D                       Em
Crankin up her favorite song
C
Don’t know where she’s headed
G
She don’t need directions
D                           Em
She’ll be driving all night long
C                          G
The sweet taste of freedom in the air that she’s breathing
D                   Em
Just trying to feel alive
C                         G
Ain’t no lookin back now, she’s gone off the tracks now
D                    Em
It’s gonna be a long drive

[Bridge]
Em               G           D
Oh she’s got the wind in her hair
Em                          C      D
These roads could take her anywhere
C
Cause there ain’t no destination
D
On the road that she has taken

[Chorus]
C                   G
Rolled down windows drivin down a backroad
D                       Em
Crankin up her favorite song
C
Don’t know where she’s headed
G
She don’t need directions
D                           Em
She’ll be driving all night long
C                          G
The sweet taste of freedom in the air that she’s breathing
D                   Em
Just trying to feel alive
C                         G
Ain’t no lookin back now, she’s gone off the tracks now
D                    Em
It’s gonna be a long drive
