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
