Rest Stop Matchbox Twenty
[Em] Just three miles, from the r[G]est stop
[D] And she slams on t[Em]he breaks
[Em]She said I tried to be but I[G]'m not
[D] And could you please collect your thin[Em]gs
PRE-CHORUS
Well I don't wa[D]nna be cold, I don't wanna be cruel
But I g[Em]otta find more than what's happenin' with you
C (fill 1)
And if you would open up the door
Fill 1.

CHORUS
She said,[G] "While you were sleeping
I was l[D]istening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming
[Em]when it came to m[D]ind that I didn't c[C]are."
And I thought,[G] "Hell if it's over
I had b[D]etter end it quick or I could lose my nerve
Are you [Em]listening? [D] Can you [A]hear me?
C (fill 2)
Have you forgotten?"

VERSE (same; add fills)
Just 3 miles from the rest stop
(fill3)
And my mouth's too dry to rage
The light was shining from the radio
(fill3a)
I could barely see her face
Fill 3. Fill 3a.

PRE-CHORUS
But she knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the crumbled up promise of this
(fill1a)
broken down man, and as I opened up my door
Fill 1a.

CHORUS
She said, "While you were sleeping, I was listening to the radio and
wondering what you're dreaming when it came to mind that I didn't care."

lose my nerve. Are you listening? Can you hear me?"
