(original key capo 3)
Ddaylight; sun hits, the car heats up so Ghot I can barely move
Djust me and the dog sleepin' in the backseat on the Gside of the road
Athis dog has seen Bmmore of this world than Gmost people I can Dname
AI got her down in Bmtexas so the Gheat's only botherin' Dme
Aroll down the Gwindows, air out the Bmcar some before drivin' on
Abreakfast: Gsoda crackers and Bmwater, check to see if... F#I'm runnin' Glow on gasoDline
F#don't ask me Bmwhere I'm from, that's a Gquestion too hard for me to Danswer
F#'cause I've been travellin' Bmall my life and I Gdon't recall just where I beDgan
AI got nothin' but a Gfew mixed tapes, an old Bmtypewriter, and a couple books
Asome worn and faded Gphotographs of the Bmtimes I now deem to have been better
Dan old-fasCioned suitcase Gholding lingerie
Dgot the car, I got the dog, too; where's my house Gfull of youngsters
Dwhere's that man still telling me he loves me while his Ghairline's receding and his belly is growing
Aonce I was a Bmlittle girl, Grun into my mother's Darms;
Ashe told me one day BmI'd find love and be Gholding children of my Down
Ato think that I beGlieved her then ain' t the Bmhard part, nuh uh
Athe hardest part is GI'm still wishing that Bmshe was rightF#  G  D  
F#a good five Bmyears has past since I had Gsomeone happy just to Dhold me
F#and I was Bmsober then, I had Gsomething better to deDpend on
Asome people, they Gtalk a lot and Gfill you up full of wondrous Dnotions
Aand I'm sick of people Gwho just talk, so if you Gsay it, please Dmean it
Aand I'm dancing in a Ggrimy bar for the Bmclientele of a toothless man
Astealing change just to Gstay alive and Bmdrinking because I need to
Done by Cone I've managed tGo push away every friend I've Dmade
F#I will sing a Bmbitter song when I Gsit to write my Dmemoirs
F#with a bottle of Bmsomething hard to Gwash down my Dprescription
Aand when I look Gback on it, all my Bmstories are pretty hateful
Aand I got a few Ghappy ones too, but Bmall they do.F#.. Gis make me Dcry
Dmidnight; pretty cold in the backseat; Gme and the dog in a gas station parking Dlot

(original key capo 3)

D G

daylight; sun hits, the car heats up so hot I can barely move

D G

just me and the dog sleepin' in the backseat on the side of the road

A Bm G D

this dog has seen more of this world than most people I can name

A Bm G D

I got her down in texas so the heat's only botherin' me

A G Bm

roll down the windows, air out the car some before drivin' on

A G Bm F# G D

breakfast: soda crackers and water, check to see if... I'm runnin' low on gasoline

F# Bm G D

don't ask me where I'm from, that's a question too hard for me to answer

F# Bm G D

'cause I've been travellin' all my life and I don't recall just where I began

A G Bm

I got nothin' but a few mixed tapes, an old typewriter, and a couple books

A G Bm

some worn and faded photographs of the times I now deem to have been better

D C G

an old-fasioned suitcase holding lingerie

D G

got the car, I got the dog, too; where's my house full of youngsters

D G

where's that man still telling me he loves me while his hairline's receding and his belly is growing

A Bm G D

once I was a little girl, run into my mother's arms;

A Bm G D

she told me one day I'd find love and be holding children of my own

A G Bm

to think that I believed her then ain' t the hard part, nuh uh

A G Bm F# G D

the hardest part is I'm still wishing that she was right

F# Bm G D

a good five years has past since I had someone happy just to hold me

F# Bm G D

and I was sober then, I had something better to depend on

A G G D

some people, they talk a lot and fill you up full of wondrous notions

A G G D

and I'm sick of people who just talk, so if you say it, please mean it

A G Bm

and I'm dancing in a grimy bar for the clientele of a toothless man

A G Bm

stealing change just to stay alive and drinking because I need to

D C G D

one by one I've managed to push away every friend I've made

F# Bm G D

I will sing a bitter song when I sit to write my memoirs

F# Bm G D

with a bottle of something hard to wash down my prescription

A G Bm

and when I look back on it, all my stories are pretty hateful

A G Bm F# G D

and I got a few happy ones too, but all they do... is make me cry

D G D

midnight; pretty cold in the backseat; me and the dog in a gas station parking lot
