Capo 3

Intro: Em9

Em9			 C2(add4)		    D2	     G	   D2/F#
Thank God I'm back in my car, and drivin' home, and drivin' home.
Em9			     C2(add4)		D2
'Cause the air was thin and so cold back in there.
	   Em7			   A7sus
It was my first time, won't be my last time
	  C2		  D2			       Em9
And the questions rise, expectations fall in light of it all.
		       C2(add4)		  D2		 G5	    D2/F#
There aren't words to say; words aren't remembered, but presence is.
Em9		C2(add4)		D2		E7
A good friend once told me, and he was there, he was there.
		A7		   C2			D2
But she wasn't there. And it's not fair, and it's not fair.

CHORUS:
G5		D/F#	  Em7			   D2
What crimes have you committed, demanding such a penance,
			C2				G5
that couldn't wait for five more minutes and a cry for help?
G5		D/F#	  Em7			   D2		
'Cause this room is so peaceful and this room is so quiet.
***3rd time to CODA
		Em7		C2		     Em9
And I hate the silence, and I can't walk the center aisle.

Em9				     C2(add4)  D2            G	   D2/F#
Well, I've been here for over three hours,     	 behind the flowers,
Em9	        C2(add4)        D2			Em7
so beautiful and young. And so alive, and so in need of someone,
	     A7					C2
someone to talk to them. 'Cause theirs are fragile lives.

REPEAT CHORUS

Em7			A7
And I think about my brother,
Em7			A7
and how i just stood there
Em7			A7			C2
with my hands in my pockets and my heart in my throat.

Em9			 C2(add4)		    D2	     G	   D2/F#
Thank God I'm back in my car and drivin' home, and drivin' home.
Em9	        C2(add4)        D2			Em7
But in that place I leave all my days of taking life for granted
	     A7				Em7
and the words I wrote for her and my best friend crying,
        A7			C2
and a young girl's lying on all our hearts.

REPEAT CHORUS

CODA:
C2		Em7		C2		     Em9
And I hate the silence, and I can't walk the center aisle.
