In the back of my Pontiac I taught you how to feel it

Pulled it out of your throat
    Gm
You choked

You looked at me like you had seen a ghost

Told me 'bout your mom

Had to be the man

Put your foot down before you grew into your hands

They tremble now, underneath mine

Say it softly

When I drive you home I'll take the long way

You said Layla was the most beautiful work of art
        F                            G                Em       F
At the end the guitar says more than words could even begin to start

        Am
All you wrote me were instrumentals
         G
All your love spelled in piano
          F                Fm
Would you say it to me out loud?
            F
Don't wanna force your hand
             G
I just wanna understand you
F
All the words you couldn't say to me
G                           F
I know why it had to be that way

I took our love with it to the junkyard
F
I could sell it for parts now
Fm
