[A]
[F#m] We drove out [A] through the show, [D]
[F#m] a dark and [A] windy road.
[F#m] The fog was [A] so thick,
[D] I couldn't [E] see through it.
[F#m] We had to take [A] it slow,
[G#] [F#m] but little did [A] I know,
[G#] [F#m] While I did my [A] best to keep us alive,
We [D] were dying out there [E] on the west coast.
[Bm] And the blue and red lights [E] were so bright,
And the fog [A] with the seatbelts on,
[D] And an expired license plate,
That [Bm] Vermont State policeman must [E] have known what was to come.
She took [A] it easy on us, [D] and he let us drive away.
[Bm] The road seemed to go [E] on forever that night,
[A] And the hour went dead [D] and late.
And all [Bm] the cell phone towers [E] that we drove past,
Had [A] a grim look [D] on their face,
Cause [Bm] they knew what they [E] had to do,
But [A] they didn't [Bm] want to break [D] the news.
[Bm] It's an awful job [E] that no one [A] wants to do.
[F#m] Kept awake [A] by crazy dogs, [D] [F#m] too much baking powder [A] use.
[D] [F#m] I had seven missed [A] calls, [D] so I knew there [E] was bad, bad [F#m] news.
I went to [A] the van, [F#m] taste of metal in [A] my mouth,
[F#m] Played that message [A] back again and [D] again,
Just hoping that I heard [E] it wrong somehow.
[Bm] And the people on the street, [E] they stared at me,
[A] As I stared off [D] into space.
[Bm] Like a statue in the backseat, [E] like a coffin in the grave,
[A] I said, frozen in purple [D] rain.
[Bm] And I waited for the phone call [E] to come to tell [A] me,
That this was [E] one of [D] your pranks.
[Bm] And I waited for weeks [E] and weeks to let [A] a tear roll down [D] my face.
[Bm] And I knew what I had [E] to do,
[A] But I didn't want to break [D] the news.
[Bm] It's an awful job [E] that no one wants [A] to do.
[F#m] So this is [A] where you went,
[F#m] When you left to [A] try to kill the president.
[F#m] We [A] tracked you down,
[D] And we drug you back into [E] the van somehow.
[F#m] I threw you [A] against the fence,
[F#m] I felt so bad for [A] doing it.
[F#m] The next morning [A] I just left,
[D] And I drove home alone, [E] feeling so fucking [F#m] sick.
[Bm] And somewhere in
[E] Pennsylvania,
I [A] saw a dozen Amish women [D] on a bridge.
[Bm] They waved at me when [E] I drove underneath,
[A] And I worry about what [D] it meant.
[Bm] This was years ago, [E] I know, I know,
[A] But now [E] I'm back [D] again.
And [Bm] the goddamn [E] telephone's telling me,
[A] That I don't [D] have a best friend.
And I [Bm] don't want to [E] go home,
[A] Because home's not where [D] I live.
[Bm] So I played that [E] message one more time [A] again.
