As recorded by HARDY (2025 release) [Intro] G C G [Chorus]
G                  C              G
I wish I was a car that drove you away

                              C                 G
'Cause if I was, I'd slow you up and slam those brakes

                Em          D               G               C
Yeah, I'd break down before you got halfway to your momma's place

                      Am7 D               G
But if I can't be the car that drove you away
[Verse 1] G C G C
                    G    C                 G
Then I wish I was a light in the center of town

                             C                 G
'Cause if I was, I'd stay on red till your gas ran out

             Em              D            G                C
And have you killin' time in that old bar we used to close down

                      Am7        D                      G
But if I can't be the car or the light in the center of town
[Chorus]
                  Em               D                G
Then I wish I was anything but the fool that I feel like

         Em               D               G
Anything but the guy that let you say goodbye

       Am7          D              G                   Em
'Cause I know bein' me ain't gonna bring you back this time

     Am7          D
So tonight, baby, I
[Verse 2]
               G         C          G
I wish I was a drink you stopped in for

                            C                    G
'Cause if I was, I'd be the strongest one they'd pour

             Em              D                G                    C
And you'd be sippin' on your feelings, hopin' I'd walk through the door

                      Am7                     D                 G
But if I can't be the car or the light or the drink you stopped in for
[Verse 3]
                      G    C               G
Then I wish I was the band playin' in that bar

                                   C                   G
'Cause if I was, I wouldn't give a damn about that tip jar

        Em            D             G                      C
And I'd only play the sad ones that cut right through your heart

                      Am7                     D                        G
But if I can't be the car or the light or the drink or the band in the bar
[Pre-Chorus]
                  Em               D                G
Then I wish I was anything but the fool that I feel like

         Em               D               G
Anything but the guy that let you say goodbye

       Am7          D              G                   Em
'Cause I know bein' me ain't gonna bring you back this time

     Am7          D
So tonight, baby, I
[Chorus]
                 C                  G                   Am7
I wish I was the band you hear, the drink you need, the light you hit

   G              C
If I can't be the man to get you to stay

                      Am7 D               G
Then I wish I was the car that drove you away
