This pattern repeats for the rest of the song. Lyrics Verse 1 When we broke down, in that small mining town, I was ready for quittin', my guard was down, It was summer all day, in your dad's chevrolet, and so we decided to stay Chorus 1 And we want spectacular views If we're to stay for the weekend And you swear, there'll be no bad news If we stay, if we stay, without looking back Verse 2 We'll take a small private room, with a window please, If it opens that's fine, to let in the breeze, We've been waitin' all year for someone to just say: Everyone fucks up its gonna be okay Chorus 2 And the prop planes, they fly overhead You can hear them returning. And maybe, it's all in my head But I'll save my complaints for tomorrow Verse 3 And when you got sick, I was sad for some days, But I'm feelin' much better, I just sleep it away. Now it's just like we never was, Some things go bad just because. Chorus 3 And the freeways, they go coast to coast, They've taken away all my good friends. And I don't care if you're broke, You can't stay here tomorrow. Chorus 4 And the dreams have come back again, But this time I'm not just watching them. It's me as pilot instead, And I land the plane all by myself. (strum) C G C No you can't stay here tomorrow.
