Rest Stop Matchbox Twenty
lyric fixes by: Jason Vertucio.
I had sent in a file with just the fills but today decided to include a whole
file instead, so that everyone can see how they fit together. And remember,
my fills don't have any real sense of rhythm to them and are pretty sloppily
done. So I hope this is readable. Enjoy! -Jason
INTRO
Arr. for one guitar: Em (022003), G (32003), D (xx0233), Em (022003)
VERSE
[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.
e|-1------0-----0--------------| B|----------------1------------| G|---0----------------0--------| D|-----------------------------| A|-----------------------------| E|-----------------------------|
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?"
Fill 2. (strings arr. for guitar)

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."
And I thought, "Hell if it's over, I had better end it quick or I could
lose my nerve. Are you listening? Can you hear me?"
