Chords

Yes I copied from the Original Tab from mestrella because I just wanted to add all the rest of the chords to the rest of the verse so I can follow along easier. Basically the same, just added chord placements. Intro Chords: G, Em
Em                 G
We drove after the show

Em                 G
On dark and windy roads

Em                 G
The fog was so thick

C                  D
We couldn't see through it

Em                 G
We had to take it slow

Em                 G
But little did I know

Em                          G
That while I did my best to keep us alive

C                               D
You were dying out there on the west coast

        C                             D
And the blue and red lights looked so bright in the fog

        G                    C
With no seatbelts on and an expired license plate

       Am                               D
That vermont state police man must have known what was to come

            G                 C
She took it easy on us and she let us drive away

    Am                      D                       G                 C
The road seemed to go on forever that night and the hour kept getting late

    Am                     D
The cell phone towers that we drove past

      G         Gmaj7    C
Had a grim look on their face

         Am                    D
Cuz they knew what they had to do

         G                        C
But they didn't want to break the news

        Am             D               G
It's an awful job that no one wants to do

Em                   G
Kept awake by crazy dogs

Em                     G
Too much baking powder used

Em                   G
I had seven missed calls

C                     D
So I knew that it was bad bad news

Em             G
I went to the van

Em                       G
The taste of metal in my mouth

Em                        G
I played the message back again and again

C                          D
Just hoping that I heard it wrong somehow

C                                    D
And the people on the streets, they stared at me

G                    C
As I stared off into space

      Am                               D
Like a statue in the back seat, like a coffin in the grave

     G                 C
I sat frozen in purple rain

     Am                           D
And I waited for the phone call to come to tell me

    G                     C
That this was one of your pranks

      Am                  D
And I waited for weeks and weeks to let a

G        Gmaj7    C
Tear roll down my face

     Am                    D
And I knew what they had to do

      G                        C
But I didn't want to break the news

       Am              D               G
It's an awful job that no one wants to do

Em                   G
So this is where you went

Em                       G
When you left to try and kill the president

Em             G
We tracked you down

C                           D
And we dragged you back into the van somehow

Em                   G
I threw you against a fence

Em                      G
I felt so bad for doing it

Em                      G
The next morning I just left

C                          D
I drove home alone feeling so fuckin sick

C                D
And somewhere in Pennsylvania

        G                     C
I saw a dozen Amish women on a bridge

    Am                 D
They waved at me when I drove underneath

     G                     C
I was worried about what it meant

        Am          D
This was years ago I know I know

   G             C
But now I'm back again

       Am           D
And the goddamn telephone's telling me

G           Gmaj7  C
That I don't have a best friend

Am                 D
I don't what to go home

G                              C
Because it's home's not where I live

    Am                   D               G
So I played that message one more time again
