D Dmaj7 You lived down the block G We met for the first time, at the bus stop D Dmaj7 We sat side-by-side G Thirty from the back, we talked the whole ride Bm G Six years later, you bought your first car D A And you told me to wait outside Bm G And you pulled up and somebody else D A Was sitting in the passenger side Chorus: Bm G So I sat in the backseat, it didn't bother me D A But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her Bm G While you talked of movies I've never seen D A I realized that's how we used to be Bm G But now my best friend is the driver D A And I'm the backseat rider Maybe it's my fault Spent summer break away And forgot to call But maybe you forgot Around this time last summer We sat in the parking lot And you told me when you got your first car That you and I would go for a drive But now we're here and somebody else is sitting in the passenger side Chorus: So I sat in the backseat, it didn't bother me But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her While you talked of movies I've never seen I realized that's how we used to be But now my best friend is the driver And I'm the backseat rider Bm G I'll give you back the clothes that you used to D A borrow Bm G You dropped me off at home, said you'll see me D A tomorrow Chorus: And I'll sit in the backseat, it didn't bother me But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her While you talked of movies I've never seen I realized that's how we used to be But now my best friend is the driver And I'm the backseat rider I'll give you back the clothes that you used to borrow You dropped me off at home, said you'll see me tomorrow You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Bm  D  Dmaj7  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
