[Intro] 
Bb/D Csus4 Bb Csus4
[Verse 1] 
BbCsus4 If I wanted to know who you were hanging with
Csus4 While I was gone, I would have asked you
BbCsus4 It's the kind of cold, fogs up windshield glass
Csus4 But I felt it when I passed you
 
BbCsus4 There's an ache in you, put there by the ache in me
Bb But if it's all the same to you
Csus4 It's the same to me
 [Chorus] 
F So we could call it even
F You could call me ""babe"" for the weekend
Dm 'Tis the damn season, write this down
Dm I'm stayin' at my parents' house
Dm And the road not taken looks real good now
CCsus4CCsus4 And it always leads to you in my hometown
 [Verse 2] 
BbCsus4 I parked my car right between the Methodist
Csus4 And the school that used to be ours
BbCsus4 The holidays linger like bad perfume
Csus4 You can run, but only so far
 
BbCsus4 I escaped it too, remember how you watched me leave
BbCsus4 But if it's okay with you, it's okay with me
 [Chorus] 
F So we could call it even
F You could call me ""babe"" for the weekend
Dm 'Tis the damn season, write this down
Dm I'm stayin' at my parents' house
Dm And the road not taken looks real good now
 
F Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
FDm Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
Dm We could just ride around
Dm And the road not taken looks real good now
CCsus4CCsus4 And it always leads to you in my hometown
 [Bridge] 
FDm Sleep in half the day just for old times' sake
C I won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay
 
F So I'll go back to L.A. and the so-called friends
F Who'll write books about me if I ever make it
Dm And wonder about the only soul
Dm Who can tell which smiles I'm fakin’
 
CCsus4CCsus4 And the heart I know I'm breakin' is my own
BbC To leave the warmest bed I've ever known
 
BbC We could call it even
BbC Even though I'm leavin’
Bb And I'll be yours for the weekend
C 'Tis the damn season
 [Finale] 
F So we could call it even
F You could call me ""babe"" for the weekend
Dm 'Tis the damn season, write this down
Dm I'm stayin' at my parents' house
Dm And the road not taken looks real good now
 
F Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
FDm Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
Dm We could just ride around
Dm And the road not taken looks real good now
CCsus4CCsus4 And it always leads to you in my hometown
