Caroline

Dm                            
Can you tell me why you left me 
           G      C       G
standing in the parking structure
Dm                                 
Caroline, I was the almost perfect 
G          C     G
boyfriend, ever, for you
Dm                                
And, you even said that to me, one
       G      C     G
 time, at the Olive Garden
Dm                                
Please return my car and leave the
        G        C        G
 keys inside the glove compartment

[Chorus]
C         Dm           Em       
Caroline, Caroline, oh Caroline,
    F
 oh Caroline
    C            F          
Oh, Caroline, oh Caroline, oh 
  Dm G   C

[Verse 2]
Dm                                
Caroline, you are the hardest 
       G    C     G
thing I'll ever put behind me
Dm                         
Never thought you'd leave me 
                 G        C  
stranded not a glance into the 
    G
rearview
Dm                            
I'll be looking for someone who 
              G      C     G
wears their hair exactly like you
Dm                                
And who swears a blue streak when 
             G        C      G
the Tarheels lose the quarterfinals

[Verse 3]
Dm                             
If you ever find another, please 
        G     C       G
don't put a post on Facebook
Dm                                
I would rather think I was a deep 
   G       C       G
regret you can't resolve
Dm                                
If I have a drink with someone, I 
     G        C    G
will tell her all about you
Dm                                
That will be the big mistake that 
       G       C        G
I will make on my first date

[Chorus]
C         Dm           Em       
Caroline, Caroline, oh Caroline,

 oh Caroline

[Verse 4]
Dm                  G     C      
Yes, I know that we could not have 
  G
lasted
Dm                 G  C    G
Daily life can not be that intense
Dm
I'll phone my friends and try to 
explain
Dm                        G     C
Why this past year I have acted so 
  G
insane!
