First Tab, offer feedback if any Standard Tuning, Intro Chords: We drove after the show On dark and windy roads The fog was so thick We couldn't see through it We had to take it slow But little did I know That while I did my best to keep us alive You were dying out there on the west coast And the blue and red lights looked so bright in the fog With no seatbelts on and an expired license plate That vermont state police man must have known what was to come She took it easy on us and he let us drive away The road seemed to go on forever that night and the hour kept getting late The cell phone towers that we drove past Had a grim look on their face Cuz they knew what they had to do But they didn't want to break the news It's an awful job that no one wants to do (Continue these chords) Kept awake by crazy dogs Too much baking powder used I had seven missed calls So I knew that it was bad bad news I went to the van The taste of metal in my mouth I played the message back again and again Just hoping that I heard it wrong somehow And the people on the streets, they stared at me As I stared off into space Like a statue in the back seat, like a coffin in the grave I sat frozen in purple rain And I waited for the phone call to come to tell me That this was one of your pranks And I waited for weeks and weeks to let a Tear roll down my face And I knew what they had to do But I didn't want to break the news It's an awful job that no one wants to do So this is where you went When you left to try and kill the president We tracked you down And we dragged you back into the van somehow I threw you against a fence I felt so bad for doing it The next morning I just left I drove home alone feeling so fuckin sick And somewhere in pennsylvania I saw a dozen amish women on a bridge They waved at me when I drove underneath I was worried about what it meant This was years ago I know I know But now I'm back again And the goddamn telephone's telling me That I don't have a best friend I don't what to go home Because it's home's not where I live So I played that message one more time again
