(INTRO):G  Asus  Bm  Asus  G  Asus  Bm  Asus 
 
G              Asus        Bm   Asus 
Floor board is filled with baby toys  
    G     Asus             Bm      Asus 
and empty coke bottles and coffee cups 
G       Asus        Bm            Asus 
Driving through the rain with no radio 
G           Asus    Bm  Asus 
try not to wake her up 
 
G          Asus  Bm  Asus 
Cell phone says low battery 
G           Asus    Bm    Asus 
God what if I break down 
G                      Asus        Bm     Asus 
I'm just looking for an exit with lots of light  
     G           Asus       Bm 
in a safe little interstate town 

        D 
Just a cheap hotel  
        C 
with a single bed  
    Bm   F#m G 
and cable TV  
           A                    (repeat Intro) 
is good enough for me and Emily
 
 
 
G       Asus        Bm   Asus 
Someday when she?s old enough  
                G           Asus       Bm     Asus 
she's going to start asking questions about him 
G            Asus             Bm       Asus 
some kid at school brings his dad for show and tell  
G               Asus  Bm      Asus 
gets her little mind wondering 
 
G          Asus  Bm   Asus 
where?s my daddy do I have one  
     G       Asus        Bm    Asus 
does he not love me like you do 
G               Asus        Bm       Asus 
Maybe I'll find someone to love the both of us now 
G                   Asus         Bm 
tell her when she's old enough to know the truth 
 
(CHORUS 2) 
         D 
Will it break her heart 
         C 
will she understand 
       Bm  F#m G 
that I had to leave 
                A                    D 
That's what was best for me and Emily 
 
(BRIDGE) 
    Am7 
The house was never clean enough 
    G 
his dinner never warm enough 
Bm                     A                       G    A 
Nothing I did was ever good enough to make him happy 
      D                Am7               G 
So I guess he gave me what he thought I deserved 
             Bm                 A                 G  
but it would kill me if he ever raise his hand to her 
 
(repeat Intro) 
 
G            Asus     Bm         Asus 
Big rigs are throwing rain on my windshield now 
G                  Asus        Bm  Asus 
Seems like they're laughing at me 
G         Asus     Bm      Asus 
Maybe the storm is letting up  
        G          Asus     B(add9) 
and the morning is breaking free 
 
(CHORUS 3) 
       D 
It?s a brand new day 
         C 
It's as second chance 
       Bm    F#m    G 
yesterday is just a memory 
A              G  Asus  Bm  Asus  G  Asus  Bm 
For Me and Emily 
 
G              Asus        Bm   Asus 
Floor board is filled with baby toys  
    G     Asus             Bm      Asus 
and empty coke bottles and coffee cups 
G               Asus       Bm           Asus 
At least there?s one good thing that he gave me 
     G            A        D 
and she's starting to wake up
