[Intro]
  F
Where we are (Where we are)
               C
I don't know where we are
(Where we are)
             E   Am
But it will be okay
  F
Where we are (Where we are)
               C

[Instrumental]
| G   Am  | E   F  | 2x

[Verse 1]
 G           Am
Laying on a table like
   E            F
I wasn't even there
 G             Am
Holding on a steering wheel
     E            F
and coming up for air
                G    Am
What was that?
  E             F
Driving in the rain,
                G    Am
what was that?
 E                F
Calling out your name

[Verse 2]
  G             Am
Staring at the ceiling fan,
 E            F
feeling far away
 G              Am
Leaning on the reasons
         E           F
like it wasn't even fair
                G    Am
What was that?
  E             F
Driving in the rain,
                G    Am
what was that?
 E                F
Calling out your name

[Verse 3]
  G                Am
Crashed the car in Arizona,
E             F
on the interstate
 G             Am
People pulling over, crying,
  E               F
thinking we were dead
                G    Am
What was that?
  E             F
Driving in the rain,
                G    Am
what was that?
 E                F
Calling out your name

[Bridge]
C                    Dm
I don't know who you are,
               Am    Fmaj7
I'm here with you
C              Dm            Am  G
Always holding up your tragedy
