In The Car Outside

| Em   | G    | G    |

[Verse 1]
           C           Em                 G
I'm in the car, I just needed to clear my head
             C              Em                 G
She's in the house with the baby crying on the bed
               C               Em                G
She's got this thing where she puts the walls so high
                               D
It doesn't matter how much you love
                               C
It doesn't matter how hard you try


[Verse 2]
         C            Em                 G
We got a place with a fence and a little grass
           C                           Em                G
I put this film on the windows, and it looks like chapel glass
             C                    Em                        G
But when shе turns, it’s like the shadow of the cross don’t cast
                            D
No blеssing over our lonely life
                                 C
It's like waiting for a train to pass, and I don’t know when it'll pass


[Chorus]
        G                               D
But I remember when she used to set the room on fire
         Em             C
With her eyes, swear to god
            G                                D
It's like a flood of grief and sorrow from a haunted life
         Em            C             G  G
When she cries, like a train, it's a lot


[Verse 3]
            C            Em                  G
I dropped a line to a flickering high school flame
            C            Em                     G
We laughed about all the ways that our lives had changed
             C           Em       G
She’s up the road, about 35 miles north
                       D
Got two little boys in school
                      C
Just had a real bad divorce and in a moment of weakness


[Chorus]
  G                             D
I told her if she ever needed a helping hand
        Em             C
I would lend, swear to god
              G                                  D
It's like the part of me that's screaming not to jump gets lost
       Em           C             G
In the sound of the train, it's a lot


[Bridge]
Dsus4  Em7       C
          Trying hard
G       Dsus4
 Not to care
Em7         C
   Swear to God
