E           F#m         G#m                  A
The coldest train car, three o' clock at dark
E                     A
Remember alcohol and dancing?
E               F#m
Our friends are gone now,
                  G#m            A
'cause she chose me to take her home
E                          A
I guess that's all I ever wanted

F#m              B
I just can't believe
      E                    A
That you chose a guy like me

Chorus:
B           A        E  B       A            E
No matter where you go, I will go down that road
B             A         E    B          A
The one that takes you home, after the party's done
F#m                        E
And all is well, but I'm scared as hell
      A                        C#m
That you won't like me in the morning
          A                B
Oh, that you won't like me, the way that I like you

The coldest train car
Chilly Friday night
I hope she holds on to what I told her
The boys around her take a second look
She made a choice the night is over

I just can't believe
That you chose a guy like me
No matter where you go
I will go down that road
The one that takes you home
After the party's done

Chorus

And all is well
But I'm scared as hell
That you won't like me in the morning
I know you'll like me the way that I like you
