Em9 C2(add#4) D2sus(no 5) G5 D2/F#
Thank God I'm back in my car, and drivin' home, and drivin' home.
Em9 C2(add#4) D2
'Cause the air was thin and so cold back in there.
Em7 A7sus
It was my first time, won't be my last time
C2 D2 Em9
And the questions rise, expectations fall in light of it all.
C2(add#4) D2sus(no 5) G5 D2/F#
There aren't words to say; words aren't remembered, but presence is.
Em9 C2(add#4) D2 E7
A good friend once told me, and he was there, he was there.
A7sus4 C2 D2
But she wasn't there. And it's not fair, and it's not fair.

G5 G/F# Em7 D2
What crimes have you committed, demanding such a penance,
C2 G5
that couldn't wait for five more minutes and a cry for help?
G/F# Em7 D2
'Cause this room is so peaceful and this room is so quiet.
3rd time to CODA** 2nd time to CODA*
Em7 C2 Em9
And I hate the silence, and I can't walk the center aisle.
C2(add#4)
Well, I've been here for over three hours,
D2sus(no 5) G5 D2/F#
behind the flowers,
Em9 C2(add#4) D2 Em7
so beautiful and young. And so alive, and so in need of someone,
A7sus4 C2 D.S. Al CODA %
someone to talk to them. 'Cause theirs are fragile lives.

Em7 A7sus4
And I think about my brother,
Em7 A7sus4
and how i just stood there
Em7 A7sus4 C2
with my hands in my pockets and my heart in my throat.
Em9 C2(add#4) D2sus(no 5) G5 D2/F#
Thank God I'm back in my car and drivin' home, and drivin' home.
Em9 C2(add#4) D2 Em7
But in that place I leave all my days of taking life for granted
A7sus4 Em7
and the words I wrote for her and my best friend crying,
A7sus4 C2 D.S. al CODA %
and a young girls lying on all out hearts.
**CODA
Em7
lence.
C2 Em7 C2 Em9
And I hate the silence, and I can't walk the center aisle
