G         D             Dmaj7      Em           G
Here at a truck stop in New Mexico just before dawn

           D                  Dmaj7
Somebody's grandma behind the wheel of a big rig

Em                  G
Pulling in with her headlights on

G                           D
We smoke a cigarette as the sunrise runs riot

F#            G
Someone's got to break the quiet

       D
And she says, "What are you doing here anyway?"

      Asus4                             A
And I smile and say, "You'd never guess"

She holds it up for me by its skinny white shoulder straps
[Chorus]
      G  A                   D        A     G
While I, I take a picture of my dress

I take a picture of my dress

I'm in the bathroom of a Dallas Texas Burger King

           D               Dmaj7              Em
Mr. Steven Tyler is on the overhead speakers

                               G
He doesn't want to miss a thing

                        G
Out there at the counter

         D                          F#
Blending in with the lunchtime crowd

              G
Trying not to laugh out loud

      D
I eat half my crispy chicken club

      Asus4                        A
I get extra mayonnaise, it's a mess

           Em
I take the other half out to the parking lot with me
[Chorus]

I take a picture of my dress

It still looks good, I only wore it once

Nine years ago, nine years and seven months
[Verse 3]
            D          Dmaj7
It may be a long while before the highway

Em                             G
Decides to finally set me free

                     D              Dmaj7
I'm going to have to chase down the remnants

Em                                         G
Of something special that you stole from me

G                                     D                          F#
It may be hiding in the sunset, or in distant corners of the dawn

G                  Gm
Or maybe it's gone

      D
But I say some prayers above the engine

        Asus4                        A
I bless everything there is to bless

           Em
Run out of gas in the middle of nowhere anyway

                   G        A
Stand there by the roadside smiling
[Chorus]
                      D       A     G
And take a picture of my dress

                    D       A      G
I take a picture of my dress

                    D       A      G
I take a picture of my dress

                    D       A      G
I take a picture of my dress
