VERSO:
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
