(Capo 2) 

Verse 1:
D                                                G
They say that the wicked don’t rest
D                                     G
Not in this world or the next
D                                             G
She parks behind the line of long black limousines
A                                      G
She had to see it for herself

Verse 2:
D                                          G
He used to say that she was pretty
D                                        G
With her mother’s golden hair
              D                            
And then one night he crossed a thousand lines
              G                                    A                               G
With a breath of homemade wine lying heavy in the air

Chorus:
D                            G
There’s no use denying
                   D
Trying to pretend
                                G
The long road to forgiveness

Doesn’t ever end
A                         D
There’s no easy way to 
                    G
Learn to let it go
                            A
Back to where it was
                           D G D G
Like dust to dust

Bridge:
A
That door won’t close

And that light won’t dim
G                                                                           
It’s a floodgate wide open with the waves crashing in 
A
Frozen like the wheels of that broken-down car
D                                                G
A constant reminder of a hand-me-down scar
                     D G D G
And it goes on…


Solo (D G D G) 


Verse 3:
D                              G
Nobody understands it
D                           G
Nobody’s ever known
D                                    G  
They just walk away and leave her praying
A                              G
In the shade of his stone

Chorus:
D                            G
There’s no use denying
                   D
Trying to pretend
                                G
The long road to forgiveness

Doesn’t ever end
A                         D
There’s no easy way to 
                    G
Learn to let it go
                            A
Back to where it was
                           D G D G
Like dust to dust
