Dm
Strung out in the back of a black car
Am
No keys, all I got is my credit cards
A#                                F
And I've been here a million times
Dm
Drive fast with the Beatles in the background
Am
Tell 'em take the 101 out of this town
A#                            F
I was never one to say goodbye

Dm
Every time I fall in love
                                  Am
I go and fuck it up right when it gets good
                      A#
Don't you think it's funny?
                      F
Don't you think it's funny?
Dm
I know I did all the shitty things to you
               Am
I said I never ever would
                 A#
Baby, that's so like me
                 F
Baby, that's so like me

Chorus:
                               Dm
I don't know why I always run away
                               Am
I don't know why I always run away
                 A#
What we had was special
                         F
I know what we had was special
                               Dm
I don't know why I always run away
                               Am
I don't know why I always run away
                  A#
What we had was special
                         F
I know what we had was special

Strung out in the back of a black car
I've got a little too good at breaking hearts
I wonder if I'll ever stop

Every time I fall in love
I go and fuck it up right when it gets good
Don't you think it's funny?
Don't you think it's funny?
I know I did all the shitty things to you
I said I never ever would
Baby, that's so like me
Baby, that's so like me

Chorus

What we had was special

Chorus

Dm
Strung out in the back of a black car
Am
I've got a little too good at breaking hearts
A#
I was never one to say goodbye
