C
So I remember when we were driving
G
Driving in your car
C G
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
Em C
City lights lay out before us
Em D
And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
C Em D
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
C Em D Em C Em
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
