In The Car Outside

G#m B  E   2X
G#m B

[Verse]

N.C.       E           G#m
I'm in the car, I just needed to clear my

B                  E              G#m
head. She’s in the house with the baby
              B                   E
crying on the bed. She's got this thing
          G#m               B
where she puts the walls so high
                               F#
It doesn't matter how much you love
                               E
It doesn’t matter how hard you try

       N.C.    E            G#m
      We got a place with a fence and a little
B                 E
grass. I put this film on the windows, and it
G#m               B
looks like chapel glass. But when she
E                    G#m
turns, it's like the shadow of the cross
      B                                 F#
don't cast. No blessing over our lonely life
                                 E
It's like waiting for a train to pass, and I

don't know when it'll pass


[Chorus]

      B
But I remember whеn she used to set thе
F#                     G#m            E
room on fire. With her eyes, swear to god.
            B
It's like a flood of grief and sorrow from a
F#                     G#m           E
haunted life. When she cries, like a train,
        B
it's a lot

B (Played twice like in the verse as the transition)

[Verse]

            E         G#m
I dropped a line to a flickering high school
B                 E             G#m
flame. We laughed about all the ways that
    B                               E
our lives had changed. She’s up the road,
      G#m       B
about 35 miles north. Got two little boys in
F#                          E
school, just had a real bad divorce

And in a moment of weakness

[Chorus]

B                               F#
I told her if she ever needed a helping
              G#m            E
hand. I would lend, swear to god.
              B
It’s like the part of me that's screaming
       F#                     G#m
not to jump gets lost. In the sound of the
E             B
train, it’s a lot


[Outro]

B                   F#                 G#m         E
                                                 Trying hard
B                   F#                 G#m         E
                                Not to care.
B                   F#                 G#m         E
                                            Swear to God
