[Verse 1]
D G/D D
They didn't ever say where we were going
G/D A
We just climbed into the backseat
Bm
Eyes wide open to the picture show outside
G
I guess we really didn't understand it all
D G/D D
Remember looking up at them in the front row
G/D A
Hands touched together, almost outta sight
Bm
It's been a long, hard week but now the slow release
G
Of a Sunday afternoon
A Bm G
And we were only young but they were trying hard to reach us
A Bm G
How was I to know that there was something so worth keeping?
[Chorus 1]
G
'Cause we were
D
Watching the world through an open window
Em7
Trees lined up like dominoes
D/F#
This old car could find its own way home
G
It's the ordinary things that mean so much
A Bm
That's where I learned it all, from them
G D/F#
To fight, to love, to laugh again
A Bm G
Man, I thought we were only wasting time
D G/D D G/D
Out on a Sunday drive
[Verse 2]
D G/D D
The song warms your soul just like an old friend
G/D A
Singing songs along that ribbon of a road
Bm
And everyone you love is sitting there, so close
G
You're never thinking that you'd ever get old
G
No, you'll never get old
[Chorus 2]
D
Just watching the world through an open window
Em7
Trees lined up like dominoes
D/F#
This old car could find its own way home
G
It's the ordinary things that mean so much
A Bm
That's where I learned it all, from them
G D/F#
To fight, to love, to laugh again
A Bm G
Man, I thought we were only wasting time
D/F#
Out on a Sunday drive

[Verse 3]
D G/D D
I never said where we were going
G/D A
I just helped them to the back seat
Dad, just laughed and said
Bm
"Son, don't drive too far"
G
Your momma gets pretty tired these days
D G/D D G/D
After a few miles I guess they recognized some places
A
And I listened as they reminisced
Bm
About a world that they had always known
And how it's changing
G
Probably never gonna be the same again
A Bm G
I caught 'em in the mirror, they were holding hands and smiling
A Bm G
Looking younger than they'd been in years
Oh, through all the years
[Chorus 3]
G
And they were
D
Watching the world through an open window
Em7
Trees lined up like dominoes
D/F#
This old car could find its own way home
G
It's the ordinary things that mean so much
A Bm
That's where I learned it all, from them
G D/F#
To fight, to love, to laugh again
A Bm G
Man, I thought we were only wasting time

Out on a Sunday drive

Out on a Sunday drive
D Em7
Out on a Sunday drive
D/F# G
Out on a Sunday drive
