[Intro]
D G D G
[Verse]
D *
I'm stuck on a memory,
G * D * A * G *
Of you dancing in a backyard in North Jersey.
D *
You're holding sparklers,
G * D * A * G *
And silhouetted by the porch lights on a summer evening.
Em/B Amaj Gmaj (feel free to mute lower strings
So, while I'm pulling my gloves off with my teeth, for these bar chords)
Em/B Amaj Gmaj
It occurred to me you used to be happy.
[Chorus]
D A G
I curse the dashboard heat,
G
It's fucking freezing.
D A G
Asleep in the backseat,
G Bm Gmaj
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty.
Gmaj Bm Gmaj
I feel so damn empty.
[Interlude]
D G D G
[Verse]
D *
I keep thinking
G * D * A * G *
That I'll feel better when it's warmer across state lines.
D *
Now I'm scraping
G * D * A * G *
Ice off of the windshield with a piece of broken taillight.
Em/B Amaj Gmaj
Oh, I wouldn't quite call it homesick
Em/B Amaj Gmaj
but I keep seeing your face in the northbound traffic.
[Chorus]
D A G
I curse the dashboard heat,
G
It's fucking freezing.
D A G
Asleep in the backseat,
G Bm Gmaj
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty.
Gmaj Bm Gmaj
I feel so damn empty.
[Bridge]
Amaj Em/B Amaj
I'm gonna go to Georgia.
Gmaj Amaj
I'm gonna smile in the sun.
Em/B Amaj Gmaj
I'm gonna pick you some wild day-lilies,
Em7
And I'm gonna hold on to them.
G Em7
I'm gonna keep them in my pocket
G Em7
Til you let me back home.
G Em7
I'm gonna go to Georgia,
And I'm coming back whole.
[Chorus]
D * A * G *
I curse the dashboard heat,
It's fucking freezing.
D * A * G *
Asleep in the backseat,
Bm Gmaj
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty.
Gmaj Bm Gmaj
I feel so damn empty.
D A G
I curse the dashboard heat,
G
It's fucking freezing.
D A G
Asleep in the backseat,
G Bm Gmaj
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty.
Gmaj Bm Gmaj
I feel so damn empty.

Capo on the 2nd fret, and the Em/B is just a Bm barre chord, but otherwise great job

I guess the Amaj is an A7.
