This is the first chord chart that I've ever submitted for
other's use. I've been playing for 30 years, and when I decided
I wanted to play this tune, I was disappointed by the available
chord charts because they were either wrong or too simplified.
So, I decided to do my own. I think you'll find this
version better captures the feeling of the song. Don't be put
off by the number of chords -- if you look at them, they're
almost all based around the second fret.
EDIT 8/27/14: Fixed names of some chords.

(Intro)
Asus2 - A - Aadd9 - Amaj9 (3x)
(Verse)
After the Abreakup, I really thought we'd Amaj7make up
Give her a little F#mtime, I'd be on her mind and suddenly she'd Dmaj7wake up D6
But today if you Alisten, softly off in the Amaj7distance
Somewhere across F#mtown, you can hear the sound of wedding bells Dmaj7ringing D6
And there's A/Dbirdseed on the A/Econcrete and A/F#she's waving goodbA/G#ye
(Chorus)
And they're driving Dmaj9away, everybody's Acheering them Eon
As the taillights fade, yeah Ashe's really gone
A/B I tA/C#hought somedDay that would be me
But now she's driving awAay in that limousiEne
And I'm holding Don like a Etin can on a Astring
Aadd9 A (2x)
(Verse)
Somewhere in my Amind, I'm the one by herE side
In that backF#mseat talking 'bout the beach, and that honeymoon Dflight
I play the whole Athing out, from the kidsE to the house
To the F#mfuture that we always dreamed Dabout
But there's A/Dbirdseed on the A/Econcrete and A/F#back here in reA/G#ality
(Chorus)
She's driving Dmaj9away, everybody's Acheering them Eon
As the taillights fade, yeah Ashe's really gone
A/B I tA/C#hought someDday that would be me
But now she's driving awAay in that limousinEe
And I'm holding Don like a Etin can on a Astring
