     C            G                     Am  F
Rode all the way down memory lane where 65 ends
           C                G
Wonderin’ how it’d feel to see the one that
 Am         F
got away again
       C                 G
Hopin’ it might go down like that hometown
  Am         F
unanswered prayer
    C          G              Am    F        C  Am
My hero sang about on an old burned CD we shared

Somethin' on the interstate told me
I was headed straight for your pretty storm
That the hurt was still gon' be there just
like your name on my arm
Even got real with a girl I chill with up in
Chapel Hill
Told her you were gonna be here just in
case my heart was still
In Mobile

Chorus:
        C      G          Am    F     C G Am F
Baby, why do you have to be so beautiful
        C      G          Am    F     C G Am F
Baby, why do you have to be so beautiful

Ain't no tellin', girl, how long it's been
since we did all that shoutin'
Probably ten months, twenty-seven days, somethin'
like that
But hey, who's countin'?
Oh, you know, just livin' the dream, home i
s where the bus is
I could say time looks fine on you, but
It wouldn't do it justice, it wouldn't
do it justice

Chorus

I don't think your stomach's supposed to hurt
quite like this
When you run into a girl you forgot you missed
It's like the space between us only made me numb
Thought I could just see you and be okay
But I'm not okay, girl
Tell me that smile on your face is so fake
And that it's all comin' back, comin' back,
comin' back
I just have to ask, have to ask, have to ask

Chorus

I said, baby, why do you have to be so beautiful?
(I don't think your stomach's supposed to hurt quite
like this)
I said, baby, why do you have to be so beautiful?
(Yeah)
(Thought I could just see you and be okay)
(But I'm not okay, girl)
