Title: Rest Stop
Album: Mad Season
Tabbed by: ReeF
[ Verse 1 ]
[ all notes should be sustained - listen to the song and you`ll know what i`m on about ]
Em G
Just three miles from the reststop,
D Em
and she slams on the breaks
Em G
She said I tried to be ... but I`m not,
D Em
so could you please collect your things
[ PreChorus ] - build up to chorus
D
Well I don`t wanna be cold, I don`t wanna be cruel,
Em
But I gotta find more than what`s happening with you
C
So if you`d open up the door
(some weird harmonics here - i don`t get them)
[ chorus ]
[[no chords]]
She said,
G D
while you were sleeping, I was listening to the radio
Em
And wondering what you`re dreaming when,
D C
it came to mind that I didn`t care
[[no chords]]
So I thought,
G D
hell, if it`s over, I had better end it quick
Em
Or I could lose all my nerve are you listening?
D C
Can you hear me? Have you forgotten?
[ verse 2 ]- play same chords as verse 1
[ this time, add more strums ]
just three miles, from the reststop
and my mouth`s to dry to rage [ improvise a fill-in picking pattern ]
light was shining from the radio-o-o
i could barely see her face
[ prechorus ]
well she knew all the worsd i never had said
she knew the crumbled down promise of this broken down man
and as i open up the do-o-or
[ Repeat Chourus ] X 2
D C ---- fade out to build up to chorus
can you hear me? have you forgotten?
[ repeat chorus ]
