Matchbox Twenty - Rest Stop
From "Mad Season by Matchbox Twenty" (2000)
(Rob Thomas)
INTRO: [Em] [G] [D] [Em]
[Em] Just three miles, from a rest [G]stop
[D] When she slams on the [Em]brakes
She said, "I tried to be but [G]I'm not.
[D] And could you please collect your [Em]things
I don't [D]wanna be cold I don't wanna be cruel
But I [Em]gotta find more than what's
Happenin' with you
So if you could, [C]open up the door..."
PRE-CHORUS:
She said, [G]"While you were sleeping
Well I was [D]listening to the radio
And I was wondering what you're dreaming when
[Em] It came to [D]mind that I didn't [C]care
CHORUS:
So I thought, [G]hell if it's over
Well I had [D]better end it quick
Or I could lose my nerve
Are you [Em]listenin'? [D]
Can you [Am]hear, me?
Have you for[C]gotten?" [D]
[Em] Just three miles, from a rest [G]stop
[D] And my mouth's too dry to [Em]rage
A light was shining, from the [G]radio
[D] And I could barely see her [Em]face
But she [D]knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the [Em]crippled up promise
Of a broken down man
As I [C]opened up the door
PRE-CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL:

Can you [C]hear, me?
