Alright so this is that song 
that kind of struck me yesterday
Um just so were clear 
I’ve changed the progression 
To start on A
So now it goes
A D A D
A D E F G
A
F G A
Then I go down to F sharp minor

And I don’t know
And I’m near here with you 
I’m still here with you

Here I sit in my car
Driving northward 
Towards the bridge
Wondering 
why I’m burning gasoline
And why gasoline exists for me to burn

And when I turn my head to the right 
I see a beautiful girl 
With curly hair
And year ago I had never heard her name
And a year from now
I’ll regret I ever heard it 

And I need you 
And I need you more than you need me
And you know that 
And I ask why
Why you wanna run away
Why you wanna run away 

But now I’m sitting in my room
Staring blankly at my shoes
Wishing I could feel the grass between my toes
But accepting that things are never perfect 

And when I’m walking out the door
With rubber soles in toe with foot
I feel prepared to bounce against the world
But I know full well its going to hurt them
I know full well its going to hurt them
I know full well its going to hurt them

And I love you 
I love you more than you love me
And you know that
But I don’t care
I want you living with me
I want you right next to me

Here I sit in my car 
Driving northward towards the bridge 
Wondering why I’m burning gasoline 
and why gasoline exists for me to burn

And when I turn my head to the right 
I see a beautiful girl with long brown hair 
And a year ago I had known heard her name
And year from now I’ll regret I ever heard it 
In a year from now I’ll regret I ever spoke it 
And a year from now I will still know it
