Version 1[Intro] D A G x2 [Verse 1] G D Dmaj7 Em G Here at a truck stop in New Mexico just before dawn D Dmaj7 Somebody's grandma behind the wheel of a big rig Em G Pulling in with her headlights on G D We smoke a cigarette as the sunrise runs riot F# G Someone's got to break the quiet D And she says, "What are you doing here anyway?" Asus4 A And I smile and say, "You'd never guess" Em She holds it up for me by its skinny white shoulder straps [Chorus] G A D A G While I, I take a picture of my dress D A G I take a picture of my dress [Verse 2] D Dmaj7 Em G I'm in the bathroom of a Dallas Texas Burger King D Dmaj7 Em Mr. Steven Tyler is on the overhead speakers G He doesn't want to miss a thing G Out there at the counter D F# Blending in with the lunchtime crowd G Trying not to laugh out loud D I eat half my crispy chicken club Asus4 A I get extra mayonnaise, it's a mess Em I take the other half out to the parking lot with me [Chorus] G A D A G Pop the trunk and take a picture of my dress D A G I take a picture of my dress [Bridge] F# Em It still looks good, I only wore it once E G A Nine years ago, nine years and seven months [Verse 3] D Dmaj7 It may be a long while before the highway Em G Decides to finally set me free D Dmaj7 I'm going to have to chase down the remnants Em G Of something special that you stole from me G D F# It may be hiding in the sunset, or in distant corners of the dawn G Gm Or maybe it's gone D But I say some prayers above the engine Asus4 A I bless everything there is to bless Em Run out of gas in the middle of nowhere anyway G A Stand there by the roadside smiling [Chorus] D A G And take a picture of my dress D A G I take a picture of my dress D A G I take a picture of my dress D A G I take a picture of my dress
