   G
Homecoming parade, you were the queen
      C
I was riding right behind you with the rest of the team
      Am
Saw my ring on your finger as you waved to the crowd
        C                            D
I didn't know a second stringer could ever be so proud

          C                   G                      C
The car in front of me was carrying what i loved more than anything
           Em    D              G              C
My sweetest dream was in the car in front of me

G
On Wednesday nights, we'd meet at church
C
You'd bring the kids, and I'd come straight from work
     Am
Going home I'd read their lips through the window of your van
  C                                   D
As they sang Jesus loves me, I thought God I'm a lucky man


          C                   G                      C
The car in front of me was carrying what i loved more than anything
           Em    D              G              C
My sweetest dream was in the car in front of me

Em        D               C
Even after what the doctor said
G                        D
You were strong and you believed
C                    Am                      D       Am D
And you held us all together through one more spring

G
Their little hands held on to mine
  C
As we sat in that backseat with tears in our eyes
 Am
A long line of headlights
Strangers stopped along the road
  C                       D
No Monday wasn't meant for wearing Sunday clothes


          C                   G                      C
The car in front of me was carrying what i loved more than anything
           Em    D              G              C
My sweetest dream was in the car in front of me
