 ... Well, it's a Thursday night but there's a    high school    game
|D          |G/B                     G2     |2: G     |4: D    |

 ... These 5-A bastards run a    shallow    cross
|D         |G/B                  G2  |2: G          |4: D    |
 ... It's a boy's last dream and a       man's first    loss

[Chorus 1]
|D         |Em7       G/F# |G           |D            |A

               |Em7         G/F# |G             |D     |
 .. And there's no one left to    ask if I'm all right
|D       |Em7         G/F# |G                 |D            |A
 ... I'll sleep until I'm   straight enough to drive, then decide
              |Em7      G/F# |G              |D    |
 .. If there's anything that  can't be left behind

[Verse 3]
|D       |D                         |2: G        |4: D      |
 .... The doctor said daddy wouldn't    make it a    year
|D          |G/B               G2 |2: G         |4: D    |
 ... But the holidays are over and    he's still    here
|D      |D                            |2: G  |4: D    |
 ... How long can they keep you in the    IC-----U?
|D   |G/B                    G2    |2: G        |4: D    |
 .... Veins through the skin like a    faded tat----too

[Verse 4]
|D        |D                         |2: G     |4: D   |
 ... Was a tough state trooper 'til a    decade    back
|D            |G/B                  G2        |2: G       |4: D    |
 ... When that girl who wasn't mama caused his    heart at----tack
|D            |D                        |2: G        |4: D    |
 ... He didn't care about us when he was    walkin' a----round
|D       |G/B                G2  |2: G         |4: D    |
 ... Just pullin' women over in a    speed trap    town

[Chorus 2]
|D         |Em7       G/F# |G           |D            |A
 ... But it never did oc----cur to me to leave, 'til tonight
            |Em7    G/F# |G           |D     | D |
 .. When I realized he'll never be all right
|Em7          G/F# |G              |D          |A
 Sign my name and   say my last goodbye, then decide
                |Em7          G/F# |G              |D    |
 .. That there's nothin' here that  can't be left behind

[Verse 5]
   |D                       |2: G       |4: D   |
The road got blurry when the    sun came    up
|D       |G/B                  G2   |2: G     |4: D    |
 ... So I slept a couple hours in my    pickup    truck
|D          |D                  |2: G     |4: D    |
 ... Drank a cup of coffee by an    Indian    mound
|D   |G/B                      G2  |2: G         |4: D    |
 .... Thousand miles away from that    speed trap    town
|D   |G/B                      G2  |2: G         |4: D  |
 .... Thousand miles away from that    speed trap    town
