Kimmie Rhodes - I Just Drove By

      
 
 Verse 1
 C                     C7         F                      
 I always go the other way but my car drove me down today
      C                                G    
 To a little house on the older side of town
 C                                   F                             
 Back when things were never hard I used to play there in that yard
         C              G                  C     F C 
 And I just drove by to see if things had changed
 
 Verse 2
 C                        C7          F                                 
 Cokes were just a nickel then and across the street at the Five and Ten
   C                                         G   G7 
 A lot of things were cheap and square and strange
           C                           C7              F                      
 And the life that we had might have been but it was one we loved believing in
        C                G                   C   F C 
 And I just drove by to see if things had changed
 
 CHORUS:
 G                                    C      F       C   
 I wondered now if love is still the way it was back then
   D7                                 G             G7    
 I need to know that life is still a place worth living in
   C                       C7     F                              
 There it is just like it was a house where there was always love
     C                  G                  C     F C 
 And I just drove by to see if things had changed

 Verse 3
 C                               C7   
 In a world that seen it's better days
  F                                  C        
 it's good to know some things remain the same
         C                         G   
 Though standing still is not times way
 C                              C7      F                            
 Take to heart while in it's spring that love is just a fragile thing
        C                G                C       F C 
 And I just drove by to see if things have changed
 
 CHORUS:
 G                                C      F        C  
 I wondered now if love is still way it was back then
   D7                                 G                 G7 
 I need to know that life is still a place worth livin' in
 C                         C7    F                               
 There it is just like it was a house where there was always love
        C             G                  C   F 
 I just drove by to see if things had changed
        C              G                  C   F C 
 I just drove by to see if things had changed
