You drove me all the way up here

                                   G#m
 cause you could tell that I was a mess

                              A
 I wasn't going to make it to dinner

                             F#
 And I shouldn't be calling again...You drove me all the way back

                        E
I circled the airport a hundred times

      A                 B                 A  B
 and tried to hide the fact that I was crying

                  A
 I came in on the red eye

                        B
 That's why I look like this

                             E
 There comes a day when you rectify

 A                B                 C#m   B
 who you are with who you want to be with

     A                           B
 And I can't make the two things co-exist
[Pre-Chorus]
    A            B
 So don't let me cave in
[Chorus]
                        E
You drove me all the way up here

                                   G#m

 And I shouldn't be calling again

                          E
 You drove me all the way up here

                               G#m
 And asked if we could stay in bed

                               A
 You still got work early tomorrow

                           F#m
 and I've got a plane to catch

      E
 You drove me all the way back

I spent last night getting Mexican

             A             B                    C#m
 Outside of Logan Square basement show with Evan

  B             A
 Chicago looked desperate

                    B
 But maybe that was me

                  E          A
 I couldn't help thinking of watching

     B              C#m        B    E
 the Sears Tower collapse as a kid

            A               E
 I feel like I might do the same thing
[Pre-Chorus]
    A                      B
 So don't let it happen to me

    A                             B
 No don't, don't let it happen to me
(Don't let it happen to me) [Chorus]

[Bridge]
F#m                A
I tried to make a life in the Midwest

E                  B
 but the rust belt keeps breaking promises

F#m               E                 E
 I can't seem to find out where my footing is

 A
 So don't (don't don't don't)

B            E
 let (don't let me cave in)

              A
 Don't let me cave in
