Capo on 2nd fret
Intro: D
Verse 1:
A D
The truck that he drives around, is custom-painted on the driver’s side
A D
He keeps it cleaner than clean, and pays a guy to wax the under-parts
A D
She eats her dinner in bed, and watches local news to fall asleep
G Em D
He’s on the road for a week or two, and he calls at dinner-time
Verse 2:
A D
The truck got busted up good, a three-car accident he didn’t cause
A D
And with the rig in the shop, he got a break he didn’t ask for
A D
They ate their dinner in bed, and watched the local news to fall asleep
G Em D
She got so good at the lonely parts, it was hard to start again
Chorus:
Bm G D
But maybe in the night, when he turns out the light, everything is okay
Bm G D
Don’t they hear alarms? She’s folding up her arms, he’s turning away
Bm G F#m
Learning days are done, the living has begun, she’s getting sadder
D7 G Gm Bm
Everything they said lying in the bed, it doesn’t matter
Verse 3:
A D
The TV’s broken again, static on the screen
A D
And once he’s back on the road, the house is getting cleaned
A D
She leaves her dinner in bed to walk around the house and look for him
G Em D
She couldn’t tell he was gone again so she throws his dinner out
Chorus:
Bm G D
But maybe in the night, when he turns out the light, everything is okay
Bm G D
Don’t they hear alarms? She’s folding up her arms, he’s turning away
Bm G F#m
Learning days are done, the living has begun, she’s getting sadder
D7 G Gm Bm
Everything they said lying in the bed, it doesn’t matter
G Gm Bm
Everything they said lying in the bed, it doesn’t matter
Bridge:
Bm(3x) A G F#m E D C G A
All of the cats have names but none are near enough to sound the same
Bm(3x) A G F#m E D C G A
And I can sleep better when you're gone she whispered lightly to the dawn
Jamming chords:
Em G Bm (11x)
End chords:
Em G (then End on original D)
