Maybe In The Night by Tally Hall

Capo on 2nd fret

Intro: D

Verse 1:

                           A                                 D
The truck that he drives around,  is custom-painted on the driver’s side
                           A                              D
He keeps it cleaner than clean, and pays a guy to wax the under-parts
                        A                              D
She eats her dinner in bed, and watches local news to fall asleep
                        G                   Em                 D
He’s on the road for a week or two, and he calls at dinner-time


Verse 2:
                          A                            D
The truck got busted up good, a three-car accident he didn’t cause
                          A                             D
And with the rig in the shop, he got a break he didn’t ask for
                           A                                 D
They ate their dinner in bed, and watched the local news to fall asleep
                        G                    Em                 D
She got so good at the lonely parts, it was hard to start again


Chorus:

                  Bm                           G                   D
But maybe in the night, when he turns out the light, everything is okay
                  Bm                          G                   D
Don’t they hear alarms? She’s folding up her arms, he’s turning away
                   Bm                     G                  F#m
Learning days are done, the living has begun, she’s getting sadder
D7               G                Gm               Bm
Everything they said lying in the bed, it doesn’t matter


Verse 3:

                  A                     D
The TV’s broken again, static on the screen
                            A                          D
And once he’s back on the road, the house is getting cleaned
                          A                                D
She leaves her dinner in bed to walk around the house and look for him
                          G                   Em                 D
She couldn’t tell he was gone again so she throws his dinner out


Chorus:

                  Bm                           G                   D
But maybe in the night, when he turns out the light, everything is okay
                  Bm                          G                   D
Don’t they hear alarms? She’s folding up her arms, he’s turning away
                   Bm                     G                  F#m
Learning days are done, the living has begun, she’s getting sadder
D7               G                Gm              Bm
Everything they said lying in the bed, it doesn’t matter
                 G                Gm              Bm
Everything they said lying in the bed, it doesn’t matter


Bridge:

Bm(3x)   A       G         F#m   E   D        C     G        A
     All of the cats have names but none are near enough to sound the same
Bm(3x)    A           G     F#m   E      D         C        G      A
     And I can sleep better when you're gone she whispered lightly to the dawn
