Attempt to capture chords for the track from Passenger's new album
One for the Road (Songs from the Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry the Musical)
I used Mike's live stream from 14 Sep 2025 for reference
(even though the audio was glitching during this song).
Starts at approximately 45:50 during the live stream
Capo 4 to play these shapes with the original recording.
The C/B is just a passing chord he uses when moving between
[C] and [Am7]

[Intro]
[Fsus2] [F] [Fsus2] [Am7] x2
[Verse 1]
[Fsus2]
Dear girl in the garage
[Fsus2] [Am7]
I owe you the full story
[Fsus2]
Years ago I buried my son
[Fsus2]
I found him hanging where he'd hung
[Am7] [Am7]
Himself out like an old pair of jeans
[Gsus4] [G]
It's the worst thing that I've ever seen
[Fsus2] [Fsus2]
And the first thing I see when I dream
[G]
So I don't do much sleeping now
[E]
I just keep wondering how
[Am7] [D7]
I lost the only thing I can't replace
[Fsus2] [Gsus4] [G]
Silently screaming in space
[Verse 2]
N.C. [Fsus2]
And it destroyed our marriage
[Fsus2] [Fsus2] [Am7] [Am7]
Threw it from the top story
[Fsus2]
Maureen couldn't leave the house
[Fsus2]
She just stood there looking out
[Am7] [Am7]
Through curtains like he'd be home soon
[Gsus4] [G]
And the worst thing was that I knew
[Fsus2] [Fsus2]
She'd see him in all that I do
[Gsus4] [G]
She'd see him in the way I walked
[E7]
And hear him in the words I talked
[Am7] [D7]
And catch him in the shadows on my face
[Fsus2] [Gsus4] [G]
We went silently drifting through space
[Chorus]
[Fsus2]
Then there was Queenie
[G]
She said I shouldn't take the blame
[C] [C/B] [Am7]
She was soft and warm and all the things I lack
[Dm] [E7]
She helped me carry the heaviest burden
[Am7] [D7]
That a father can have upon his back
[Fsus2] [Gsus4] [G]
And I never thanked her for that
[Verse 3]
[Fsus2]
But I searched for courage
[Fsus2] [Am7] [Am7]
Like my father did before me
[Fsus2]
In the bottom of a whiskey glass
[Fsus2]
Spiralling and spinning fast
[Am7] [Am7]
And bleeding out with every drink they'd pour me
[G] [G]
It was the worst way to deal with my pain
[Fsus2] [Fsus2]
But the first thing that I turned to that didn't turn away
[G]
Then one night when I was drunk and hurt
[E7]
I vandalised my place of work
[Am7] [D7]
And lay down all broken and disgraced
[Fsus2] [Gsus4] [G] [G5]
Wishing I could vanish in to space
[Chorus]
[Fsus2]
Then there was Queenie
[G]
She stood and took the blame
[C] [C/B] [Am7]
She was kind and brave and all the things I lack
[Dm] [E7]
She took the bullet for me, she took the burden
[Am7] [D7]
She lost her job and never came back
[Fsus2] [G]
Oh, and I never thanked her for that
[Instrumental]
[C] [G] [Gsus4] [G5]
[Verse 4]
[Fsus2]
Dear girl in the garage
[Fsus2] [Am7]
Now you know the full story
[Fsus2]
Four months ago I left my home
[Fsus2]
To walk to Queenie all alone
[Am7] [Am7]
Not for love, I've only ever loved my wife
[Gsus4] [Gsus4]
But she helped me long ago and that is why
[Fsus2] [Fsus2]
I knew I had to go I had to try
[Gsus4] [Em]
And I never would've walked if we never had've talked
[Fsus2] [Fsus2]
And the sun wouldn't have shone through the cracks
[Fsus2] [Asus2] [Am] [Asus2] [A7sus2] [Am]
And I'd just like to thank you for that
