Tom: G

(intro) Em G D Em

Em                      G       D                               Em
Just three miles from the reststop, and she slams on the breaks
Em                              G       D                                       Em
She said I tried to be here but I'm not, so could you please collect your things
D
Well I don't wanna be cold, I don't wanna be cruel,
        Em
But I gotta find more than what's happening with you
 C
So if you'd open up the door

        G                               D
She said, while you were sleeping, I was listening to the radio
                                        Em              D               C
And wondering what you're dreaming when, it came to mind that I didn't care
          G                             D
So I thought, hell, if it's over, I had better end it quick
                                        Em              D
Or I could lose all my nerve are you listening?
        C
Can you hear me? Have you forgotten?

Em                      G       D                               Em
Just three miles from the reststop, and my mouth's too dry to rage
Em                      G       D                               Em
The light was shining from the radio, I could barely see her face
D
But, she knew all the words that I never had said
                        Em
She knew the crumbled up promise of this broken down man
        C
As I opened up the door
