D                       A
You walked over, said "Hey!"
                    Bm
And you told me her name
Bm
But I didn't hear it
D                            A
Might've walked out of that bar
                Bm
But I ran to my car
Bm
Like smoke disappearing
Em                        D
I don't know why I'm surprised
                        A
I know I ain't got the right
A
To react like you're mine anymore but
Em
Seeing someone with you
D
Just hit me out of the blue
A
Something 'bout it cut right to the core

Chorus:
G                          D
I need a drink but damn it I'm driving
Bm7                         A
Said I was fine but damn it I'm lying
G
Thought I could fake a smile
D
At least a couple miles
Bm7                       A
Turns out I ain't that strong
G                   D
I need to talk but we ain't talking
Bm7                    A
Tears need to fall and I can't stop 'em
G
This heart's about to break
D
Right on the interstate
Bm7                    A
I ain't gonna make it home
               G
So I'm pulling over
                  A             D
'Cause I need a shoulder to cry on

I got plenty of gas
Ain't nothing, gone flat
Just needed a minute
To have a little breakdown
Go and get it all out right now
The highway and me

Chorus

A  D
Oh-oh
                          G
I need a shoulder to cry on
   A
Oh-ooh-oh

Chorus:
I need a drink but damn it I'm driving
Said I was fine but damn it I'm lying
Thought I could fake a smile
At least a couple miles
Turns out I ain't that strong, no
I need to talk but we ain't talking
Tears need to fall and I can't stop 'em
This heart's about to break
Right on the interstate
I ain't gonna make it home
So I'm pulling over
'Cause I need a shoulder to cry on
