Intro Em, G, D, Em



Verse
Em                        G
 just 3 miles, from the rest stop
D                     Em
    And she slams on the breaks
Em                          G   
She said I tried to be but I'm not
D                                         Em
    And could you please collect your things


Pre—chorus
               D
Well I don't wanna be cold, I don't wanna be cruel
       Em              
But I gotta find more than what's happened with you
              C                
So if you'd — open up the door



CHORUS
          G                                         
She said — while you were sleeping
       D                                                        
I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming
Em               D                  C 
when it came to mind that I didn't care

it came to mind that I didn't care
               G
So I thought — hell if it's over
       D  
I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve
        Em       D           A
Are you listening — Can you hear me
            C
Have you forgotten

                     

Verse
Em                      G      
Just 3 miles from the rest stop
D                                Em  
      And my mouth's too dry to rage
Em                              G
The light was shining from the radio
D                            Em
      I could barely see her face

Pre—chorus
         D
But she knew all the words that I never had said
               Em
She knew the crumbled up promise of this
                       C 
broken down man — As I opened up my door
