Intro: G Asus Bm Asus G Asus Bm Asus
[G]Floor board is [Asus]filled with [Bm]baby [Asus]toys
and [G]empty [Asus]coke bottles and [Bm]coffee c[Asus]ups
[G]Driving [Asus]through the [Bm]rain with no r[Asus]adio
[G]try not to w[Asus]ake her [Bm]up[Asus]
[G]Cell phone [Asus]says l[Bm]ow b[Asus]attery
[G]God what if [Asus]I break [Bm]down[Asus]
[G]I'm just looking for an[Asus] exit with l[Bm]ots of [Asus]light
in a [G]safe little [Asus]interstate [Bm]town
(CHORUS)
Just a c[D]heap hotel
with a s[C]ingle bed
and [Bm]cable[F#m] TV [G]
A (repeat Intro)
is good enough for me and Emily
[G]Someday [Asus]when shes o[Bm]ld en[Asus]ough
she's going to s[G]tart asking [Asus]questions a[Bm]bout hi[Asus]m
[G]some kid at s[Asus]chool brings his [Bm]dad for s[Asus]how and tell
[G]gets her little [Asus]mind w[Bm]ondering[Asus]
[G]wheres my [Asus]daddy [Bm]do I [Asus]have one
does [G]he not l[Asus]ove me like [Bm]you do[Asus]
[G]Maybe I'll find [Asus]someone to l[Bm]ove the b[Asus]oth of us now
[G]tell her when she's [Asus]old enough to[Bm] know the truth
(CHORUS 2)
Will it b[D]reak her heart
will she [C]understand
that I [Bm]had [F#m]to l[G]eave
That's what was [A]best for me and Emily[D]
(BRIDGE)
The [Am7]house was never clean enough
his [G]dinner never warm enough
[Bm]Nothing I did was ever [A]good enough to make him [G]happy[A]
So I g[D]uess he gave me w[Am7]hat he thought I d[G]eserved
but it would [Bm]kill me if he ever [A]raise his hand to [G]her
(repeat Intro)
[G]Big rigs are [Asus]throwing [Bm]rain on my [Asus]windshield now
[G]Seems like they're [Asus]laughing at [Bm]me[Asus]
[G]Maybe the [Asus]storm is [Bm]letting [Asus]up
and the [G]morning is [Asus]breaking [Badd9]free
(CHORUS 3)
Its a [D]brand new day
It's as s[C]econd chance
yesterd[Bm]ay is [F#m]just a [G]memory
[A]For Me and Emil[G]y[Asus][Bm][Asus][G][Asus][Bm]
[G]Floor board is [Asus]filled with [Bm]baby [Asus]toys
and [G]empty [Asus]coke bottles and [Bm]coffee c[Asus]ups
[G]At least theres[Asus] one good t[Bm]hing that he [Asus]gave me
and s[G]he's starting[A] to wake [D]up
