Rest Stop Acoustic chords by Matchbox Twenty

Tuning: Standard


G          D/F               Em
Just three miles from the rest stop
G                     C
And she slams on the breaks
G           D/F                Em
She said I tried to be but I'm not
D/F                                  C
And could you please collect your things
G
I don't wanna be cold
D/F
I don't wanna be cruel
Em
But I gotta find more
C

Than what's happening with you
D/F                      Em
If you'd - open up the door
             G              D/F
She said - while you were sleeping
Em
I was listening to the radio
D/F                                  G
And wondering what you're dreaming when
             D/F                Em
It came to mind that I didn't care
                G
So I thought - hell if it's over
D/F
I had better end it quick
            Em
Or I could lose my nerve
      G                     D/F
Are you listening - can you hear me
           Em
Have you forgotten

Just three miles from the rest stop
And my mouth's too dry to rage
The light was shining from the radio
I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the crumpled-up promise of this
Broken down man - and as I opened up the door
