Em        G        D         Em

Em                            G
 Just three miles, from a rest stop
D                      Em
 When she slams on the brakes
                                G
She said, "I tried to leave but I'm not.
D                                    Em
 And could you please collect your things.

        D
I don't wanna be cold I don't wanna be cruel
        Em
But I gotta find more than what's

Happenin' with you
                C
So if you could, open up the door..."

         G
She said, "While you were sleeping
           D
Well I was listening to the radio

And I was wondering what you're dreaming when
Em                     D               C
 It came to mind that I didn't care.

             G
So I thought, hell if it's over
           D
Well I had better end it quick

Or I could lose my nerve
        Em         D
Are you listenin'?
        Am
Can you hear, me?
            C
Have you forgotten?"

D

Em                            G
 Just three miles, from a rest stop
D                               Em
 And my mouth's too dry to reach her
                               G
 A light was shining, from the radio
D                          Em
 And I could barely see her face

        D
But she knew all the words that I never had said
             Em
She knew the crippled up promise

Of a broken down man
    C
As I opened up the door

         G
She said, "While you were sleeping
           D
Well I was listening to the radio

And I was wondering what you're dreaming when

            D
Have you forgotten?
            C
Have you forgotten?"
