Something like this a couple of times. Listen for timing. Don't play the A to D until the last time.

Solo: Mostly like the Chorus, but emphasize the pull offs and hammer ons on the top string.

Have fun with the notes on the bottom three strings.

VERSE

On the way home,

this car hears my confessions.

I think tonight I'll take the long way.

This weather.

The wind outside is biting.

It has left me feeling tired & exposed.

You've been asking me to bleed.

It seems these kinds of questions

come too easy to you now.

Your lack of shame comes naturally.

I should not be suprised.

I should have seen it sooner.

CHORUS

You expect me to apologize

for things that you've done wrong.

While you're inciting others.

You're owning up to nothing

and I wish that I was gone,

because you're not going anywhere.

VERSE

This damp air

is fighting my defroster.

My sighs they ring victorious

& fog this tinted glass.

It's clouded

& so is my head.

The hint of these new tears are sharp.

I try to hold them back.

It's useless.

I am useless against them.

They are beating me with ease.

SOLO

VERSE

On the way home

this car hears my confessions.

I think tonight I'll take the long way.
