Note:
I just my index finger to mute the 6th string, and my thumb to mute the 1st string. Also, 
is sort of a transitional chord, so its played once (downstrum) then immediately switch 
F.

[Verse]

I had a dream that had to drive to Madison
to deliver a painting for some silly reason
I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan
Paul Baribeau took me to the giant tire swing
gave me a push and he started singing
I sang along while I was swinging
the sound of our voices made us forget everything
that had ever hurt our feelings


[Chorus]

             
Joey never met

             
 a bike that h

            
e didn't wanna

/
 ride
             
and I never me

         
t a Toby that 

I didn't like
             
Scotty liked a

              
ll of the book

             
s that I recom

 
mended
             
even if he did

      
n't I wouldn't

 be offended


[Verse]

now I'm home for less than twenty-four hours
that's hardly time to take a shower
hug my family and take your picture off the wall
check my email write a song and make a few phone calls
before it's time to leave again
I've got one hand on the steering wheel
one waving out the window
if I'm a spinster for the rest of my life
my arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights


[Chorus]

             
Joey never met

             
 a bike that h

            
e didn't wanna

/
 ride
             
and I never me

         
t a Toby that 

I didn't like
             
Scotty liked a

              
ll of the book

even if he did

      
n't I wouldn't

 be offended
