Capo on 2nd fret
Intro: D5
Verse 1:
A5 D5
The truck that he drives around, is custom-painted on the driver?s side
A5 D5
He keeps it cleaner than clean, and pays a guy to wax the under-parts
A5 D5
She eats her dinner in bed, and watches local news to fall asleep
G5 E5 D5
He?s on the road for a week or two, and he calls at dinner-time
Verse 2:
A5 D5
The truck got busted up good, a three-car accident he didn?t cause
A5 D5
And with the rig in the shop, he got a break he didn?t ask for
A5 D5
They ate their dinner in bed, and watched the local news to fall asleep
G5 E5 D5
She got so good at the lonely parts, it was hard to start again
Chorus:
B5 G5 D5
But maybe in the night, when he turns out the light, everything is okay
B5 G5 D5
Don?t they hear alarms? She?s folding up her arms, he?s turning away
B5 G5 F#5
Learning days are done, the living has begun, she?s getting sadder
D5 G5 G5 B5
Everything they said lying in the bed, it doesn?t matter
Verse 3:
A5 D5
The TV?s broken again, static on the screen
A5 D5
And once he?s back on the road, the house is getting cleaned
A5 D5
She leaves her dinner in bed to walk around the house and look for him
G5 E5 D5
She couldn?t tell he was gone again so she throws his dinner out
Chorus:
B5 G5 D5
But maybe in the night, when he turns out the light, everything is okay
B5 G5 D5
Don?t they hear alarms? She?s folding up her arms, he?s turning away
B5 G5 F#5
Learning days are done, the living has begun, she?s getting sadder
D5 G5 G5 B5
Everything they said lying in the bed, it doesn?t matter
G5 G5 B5
Everything they said lying in the bed, it doesn?t matter
Bridge:
Bm(3x) A5 G5 F#5 E5 D5 C5 G5 A5
All of the cats have names but none are near enough to sound the same
Bm(3x) A5 G5 F#5 E5 D5 C5 G5 A5
And I can sleep better when you're gone she whispered lightly to the dawn
Jamming chords:
E5 G5 B5 (11x)
End chords:
E5 G5 (then End on original D5 )
