Intro: C

Verse

C                                    Cmaj7
Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
                             C6
Took you home set you on the counter
                      Cmaj7
Oh at least a time or two
                       C
Maybe she'd thought it through.
C                                        Cmaj7
Yellow sunset slowly dipping down in the rear view
                            C6
Oh how she loved to sit and watch you
                         Cmaj7
I could have done that a whole lot more
            G
If I hadn't been so stubborn been so selfish
F
Thought about her more thought about me less
G
Joked and make her laugh held her when she cried
  F                G
A little more that maybe I wouldn't be


Chorus

C                                            Cmaj7
Driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
                    C6
Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be
Cmaj7                        C
Going any place she might go beating on the dash
                              Cmaj7                          C6
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
                                 Cmaj7 F                  G
If I had loved her this much all along maybe, maybe, yeah maybe
                C    Cmaj7                 C6    Cmaj7
She wouldn't be gone       she wouldn't be gone


Verse

    C                                                       Cmaj7
She warned me it was coming said if I didn't change she was leaving
              C6
I just didn't believe
                           Cmaj7
She would ever really walk out
                  C
God I believe her now
                                         Cmaj7
Called her mama cried like a baby to her best friend
                               C6
If they've seen her they ain't sayin
           Cmaj7
They ain't sayin
        G
Now I'm cursing like a fool praying it ain't too late
F
All I wanna do is fix my mistakes
G
Find her beg her for one more try
F          G
Until then damn it I'll be


Chorus

C                                            Cmaj7
Driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
                    C6
Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be
Cmaj7                        C
Going any place she might go beating on the dash
                              Cmaj7                          C6
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
                                 Cmaj7 F                  G
If I had loved her this much all along maybe, maybe, yeah maybe
                C    Cmaj7                 C6    Cmaj7
She wouldn't be gone       she wouldn't be gone
              C                                                 Cmaj7
I wouldn’t be beating on the dash screaming out her name at the windshield
                    C6                                    Cmaj7
Tears soaking up my face if I had loved her this much all along
F                  G                     C     Cmaj7  C6  Cmaj7
Maybe, maybe, yeah maybe she wouldn’t be gone


Outro

C                                    Cmaj7
Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
                             C6                            Cmaj7
Took you home set you on the counter oh at least a time or two
                       C
Maybe she'd thought it through


The C6 in this song is essentially an Am/C. Listen carefully 
to the progression of C, Cmaj7 and C6 in the song and you’ll 
note that the C remains constant in the bass. The remainder 
of the chords are standard barre chords. Also cleaned up the 
lyrics on this version.
