       A
On the on-ramp you said
         G                                D
"If you love me, you will listen to this song"
            F#m                 E
And I could tell that you were serious
    A                           G
So I didn't tell you you were driving the wrong way
       F#m                            D
On the interstate until the song was done
E                F#m   A          G            E
You felt like an idiot adding an hour to the drive
                              F#m
But it gave us more time to embarrass ourselves
 A                  F#m          G
Tellin' stories we wouldn't tell anyone else

Chorus:
           F#m               E
You said, "I might like you less now that you
  A      G  D
know me so well"
F#m               E                 A       G  D
I might like you less now that you know me so well

         A          G                F#m
Leonard Cohen once said, "There's a crack in
       D
everything
                A         G
That's how the light gets in"
    F#m         D                 A    G        E D
And I am not an old man having an existential crisis
                    A            G         D
At a Buddhist monastery writing horny poetry
       F#m
But I agree

Chorus:
   D                   E         A
I never thought you'd happen to me
   D                   E         A
I never thought you'd happen to me
