Pontiac
VERSE
Pontiacs and daydreams, [A]
Cigarettes and magazines, [A]
Backseat full of memories [A]
I can’t let go of. [B]
VERSE
Classic rock radio, [C]
Polyester winter coat, [C]
Crushes that gave up the ghost, [C]
Snow is fallin’ school is closed [C]
I still remember I still know . . . [C]
CHORUS
And I hope you get your heart broke [C]
At least once before you fall in love. [B]
I hope you wind up flat broke [C]
At least once before you have enough. [B]
Hold on to some innocence [D]
Through the “almosts” and the “could have beens”. [D]
Put an anchor in somethin’ that will bring you back. [E]
I hope you keep the Pontiac. [E]
VERSE
Kisses laced in cinnamon. [D]
Coppertone on summer skin. [D]
Wasted time you can’t unspend. [D]
County roads and bumper dents, [D]
Nothing’s insignificant. [D]
CHORUS
And I hope you get your heart broke [C]
At least once before you fall in love. [B]
I hope you wind up flat broke [C]
At least once before you have enough. [B]
Hold on to some innocence [D]
Through the “almosts” and the “could have beens”. [D]
Put an anchor in somethin’ that will bring you back. [E]
I hope you keep the Pontiac. [E]
Hold on to some innocence [D]
Through the almosts and the could have beens. [D]
Put an anchor in somethin’ that will bring you back. [E]
I hope you keep the Pontiac. [E]
I hope you keep the Pontiac. [E]
I hope you keep the Pontiac. [E]
