Yes I copied from the Original Tab from mestrella because I just wanted to add all the
rest of the chords
to the rest of the verse so I can follow along easier. Basically the same, just added
chord placements.
Intro Chords: G, Em
Em G
We drove after the show
Em G
On dark and windy roads
Em G
The fog was so thick
C D
We couldn't see through it
Em G
We had to take it slow
Em G
But little did I know
Em G
That while I did my best to keep us alive
C D
You were dying out there on the west coast
C D
And the blue and red lights looked so bright in the fog
G C
With no seatbelts on and an expired license plate
Am D
That vermont state police man must have known what was to come
G C
She took it easy on us and she let us drive away
Am D G C
The road seemed to go on forever that night and the hour kept getting late
Am D
The cell phone towers that we drove past
G Gmaj7 C
Had a grim look on their face
Am D
Cuz they knew what they had to do
G C
But they didn't want to break the news
Am D G
It's an awful job that no one wants to do
Em G
Kept awake by crazy dogs
Em G
Too much baking powder used
Em G
I had seven missed calls
C D
So I knew that it was bad bad news
Em G
I went to the van
Em G
The taste of metal in my mouth
Em G
I played the message back again and again
C D
Just hoping that I heard it wrong somehow
C D
And the people on the streets, they stared at me
G C
As I stared off into space
Am D
Like a statue in the back seat, like a coffin in the grave
G C
I sat frozen in purple rain
Am D
And I waited for the phone call to come to tell me
G C
That this was one of your pranks
Am D
And I waited for weeks and weeks to let a
G Gmaj7 C
Tear roll down my face
Am D
And I knew what they had to do
G C
But I didn't want to break the news
Am D G
It's an awful job that no one wants to do
Em G
So this is where you went
Em G
When you left to try and kill the president
Em G
We tracked you down
C D
And we dragged you back into the van somehow
Em G
I threw you against a fence
Em G
I felt so bad for doing it
Em G
The next morning I just left
C D
I drove home alone feeling so fuckin sick
C D
And somewhere in Pennsylvania
G C
I saw a dozen Amish women on a bridge
Am D
They waved at me when I drove underneath
G C
I was worried about what it meant
Am D
This was years ago I know I know
G C
But now I'm back again
Am D
And the goddamn telephone's telling me
G Gmaj7 C
That I don't have a best friend
Am D
I don't what to go home
G C
Because it's home's not where I live
Am D G
So I played that message one more time again
