Em                      G
Just 3 miles, from the rest stop
D                     Em
And she slams on the breaks
Em                          G
She said I tried to be but I'm not
D                                  Em
And could you please collect your things
               D
Well I don't wanna be cold, I don't wanna be cruel
       Em
But I gotta find more than what's happened with you
              C
So if you'd - open up the door

Chorus:
          G
She said - while you were sleeping
       D
I was listening to the radio and wondering
what you're dreaming
Em               D                  C
when it came to mind that I didn't care
              G
So I thought - hell if it's over
       D
I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve
         Em      D           A
Are you listening - Can you hear me
             C
Have you forgotten

Just three miles from the rest stop
And my mouth's to dry to rage
The light was shinin' from the radio
And I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the crumpled up promise of
this broken down man
As I opened up the door

Chorus:
She said, while you were sleepin'
I was listenin' to the radio and
wonderin' what you're dreamin' when
It came to mind that I didn't care
And I thought, hell, if it's over
Then I had better end it quick or
I could lose my nerve
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?

While you were sleepin'
I was listenin' to the radio and wonderin'
what you're dreamin' when
It came to mind that I didn't care
So I thought hell if it's over
Well I had better end it quick or
I could lose all my nerve
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?

While you were sleepin'
I was listenin' to the radio and wonderin'
what you're dreamin' when
It came to mind that I didn't care
I thought, hell, if it's over
Well I had better end it quick or
I could lose all my nerve
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
