_ The next song is a, this is one, there's a couple songs, Black and White People is one of them, and this song was written, _ I'd say 10 years ago, but I think I've been saying that for like 3 or 4 years now, so it's gotta be like 11 or 12 years ago.
And, _ but I was like 17 years old, I was hitchhiking _ from _ _ Orlando _ _ to Daytona, [E] that was my plan for the weekend, and I met this girl, as you do when you're 17, and we had this great week together, and we were headed back to her place, that was the big plan, we were gonna go to Tampa, cause she lived in Tampa.
And, somewhere on the middle of the road, she just stopped the car and kicked me out, like, it just, she pulled over, I was sleeping, she opened the door, she said, listen, this just isn't gonna work out, and, you know, [N] sorry, and thanks for playing, and she kinda kicked me out on the side of the road, and she didn't even take me to my exit, and I thought, you know, bitch.
And, _ and, and it's funny, because like, when you're 17, _ everything, you know, you watch a lot of John Hughes movies, and everything is, you know, a big affair of the heart, and everything is huge, and now, you know, not so much, now it's just kind of a character-building funny story, but at the time, you know, _ that messed me up, so I wrote a song about it, and here it goes. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ Just three miles [G] from the rest stop, _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Gm] she slams on [Em] the brakes, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ she said, I tried to be, [G] but I'm not, _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ so could you please collect [Em] your things? _ _ _ _
_ [D] I don't wanna be cold, I don't wanna be cruel, [Em] but I gotta find out what's happening with you, so [C] if you would open up the door, _ _ she _ _ _ _ _ [G] said, while you were sleeping, _ [D] I was listening to the radio, wondering what you're [Em] dreaming, when it came [D] to mind that I [C] didn't care. _ _ _
So I [G] thought, hell, if it's over, will [D] I have better, any quicker, I could lose my nerve, [Em] while you were listening, _ [D] _ _

So [C] I opened _ up the door, _ _ she _ _ _ _ _ [G] said, while you were sleeping, _ [D] I was listening to the radio, wondering what you're [Em] dreaming, when it came [D] to mind that I [C] didn't care. _ _ _
