Rest Stop Cifras

Thank you for everyone who's posted this song, I have added some sections that I find
to be signature to the song which weren't in other version on here
 
 
Intro note and repeated throughout
e-----------
b-----------
g--12--12--- this is a harmonic note, where you rest your finger
d----------- lightly on the string at this fret but not down to
a----------- the fretboard and pluck the note
e-----------
 
e---------
b--8--8---
g---------  this is an alternative to the above way to create it
d--5--5---
a---------

Em  G  D  Em
 
Em                           G
   Just three miles from the rest stop
 
D                        Em
   And she slams on the brakes
 
Em                            G
   She said I tried to be but I’m not
 
D                                    Em
   And could you please collect your things
 
             D
Well I don’t wanna be cold, I don’t wanna be cruel
 
      Em
But I gotta find more than what’s happened with you
 
            C
And if you’d open up the door

She said
 
G
   While you were sleeping
 
       D
I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming when
 
Em            D          C
   It came to mind that I didn't care, so I thought
 
G
   Hell if it’s over
 
      D
I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve
 
        Em
Are you listening 
 
D          A
   Can you hear me
 
            C
Have you forgotten

Em                           G
   Just three miles from the rest stop
 
D                            Em
   And my mouth’s too dry to rage

Em                                G
   The light was shining from the radio
 
D                         Em
   I could barely see her face
 
         D
But she knew all the words that I never had said
 
               Em
She knew the crumbled up promise of this broken down man as I
 
C
   Opened up my door
