Am
We were thinking we were wise
F
There was a moment, you and I
C
We saw it stretch across our lives
G
Thinking we could make it if we tried

And now this car won't drive this road
There are some things I should've known
There are some things on my mind
But I won't pick up the line

Chorus:
C               F
'Cause I don't have the heart to admit
Em             G
I don't wanna finish what we started
C                        F
I think you could be an honest man
Em                     G
But I’m a woman who's just too guarded
C               F
We know it's a big mistake
Am       G
Like the ones we made
C                F
Nothing left to do, but let it lie
Em                   F                C
Let's not wait till water's running dry

Now I don't wanna compromise
'Cause, baby, both of us have tried
You know it hurts me letting go
It hurts me more than I can show

I close my eyes, see an open road
There are some things I wanna know
There are some things on my mind
But I don't know how to see it right

Chorus

C
Don't wait up for me
I'm not coming home
         G
I'm not tired
                 F
Gonna drive all night
C
Don't wait up for me
I'm not answering my phone
            G                        F
I'n headed north on the 5 till it's light
C
Don't wait for me, don't wait for me
           G                   F  G F
Might not hear from me for a while

Chorus:
'Cause I don't have the heart to admit
We can never finish what we started
You couldn't be an honest man
So how could I be the woman you wanted?
It took us so long to find
What was always there in our eyes
Nothing left to do but cut the line
Let's not wait till water's running dry, dry
