In The Car Outside

Intro 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 B F# G# E (The rest of the song) (Solo guitar part) e|----------------------| B|--4--4-------4-4------| G|-4--4--4-4-4--4-4-----| D|----------------------| A|----------------------| E|----------------------| e|----------------------| B|--2--2-------2-2------| G|-4--4--4-4-4--4-4-----| D|----------------------| A|----------------------| E|----------------------| e|----------------------| B|--7--7-------7-7------| G|-4--4--4-4-4--4-4-----| D|----------------------| A|----------------------| E|----------------------| e|----------------------| B|--5--5-------5-5------| G|-4--4--4-4-4--4-4-----| D|----------------------| A|----------------------| E|----------------------| (Second guitar) e|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|------------------1-3-------6-3-4--------4-3-1-| D|---1-2-4------1-4---------4------------1-------| A|-2---------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------|
