My version by ear.
Capo 2
G
After the breakup,
D
I really thought we'd make up.
Em
Give her a little time, I'd be on her mind
C
And suddenly she'd wake up.
G
But today if you listen,
D

Em
Somewhere 'cross town, you can hear the sound
C
Of wedding bells ringing.
C
And there's bird seed on the concrete,
G D
And she's waving goodbye
C
And they're driving away
G D C

G D
Yeah she's really gone,
C D D7
I thought someday that would be me
G D
But now she's driving away in that limousine
C
And I'm holdin' on
D G
Like a tin can on a string.
G
Somewhere in my mind,
D

Em

C
And that honeymoon flight.
G

D
From the kids to the house,
Em C
To the future that we always dreamed about.
C
But there's bird seed on the concrete,
G D
And back here in reality
C
She's driving away
G D C
And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade
G D
Yeah she's really gone,
C D D7
I thought someday that would be me
G D
But now she's driving away in that limousine

And I'm holdin' on
D G
Like a tin can on a string.
G C D G
C D D7
I thought someday that would be me
G D
But now she's driving away in that limousine
Em C
And I'm not ready to let go of everything
G D
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
*Short Pause*
G
Like a tin can on a string.
