You're the best I ever had I won't be the same
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
Hey West Virginia, Hey North Dakota I think I love you, but don't even know you
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
Hey Massachusetts, Hey Minnesota I think I love you, but don't even know you
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
Hey Carolina, Hey Oklahoma I think I love you, but don't even know you
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
Hey Alabama, Hey California I think I love you, but don't even know you
Cadd9 G
( Em7 Dsus4 )

Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4 Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
You're the best I ever had and I'm trying not to get stuck in my head But I passed the
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
Longest sign on the interstate saying: find someone before it gets too late
Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4
You're the best I ever had I won't be the same
