[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse]
G C G
I was drunk, I didn't let on
C G
As I stood before your door at dawn
C G
I guess I might have awaken the dogs
C D
Because the shadows started coughing them out
G C G
So I put my hands into my hair
C G
And I pulled and let it hurt
C G
There was a light going out somewhere
C D
Thought I can hear through the wood
G C G
That held the house together
C G
That kept me out here in the cold
C G
I knew the sun was going to change the weather
C D
But I was looking she never would show
C D
I was jamming my hands in my pockets
C D
And I was thinking about throwing a stone
C D
But if I had the courage I knew that I lost it
C G
I was too scared to walk myself home
[Interlude]
G C G C
[Verse]
G C G
So lit out on a concrete rail
C G
And I made my way through the dead park
C G
I could still here the cicadas wailing
C D
As the morning fog rolled off the dark
G C G
I had the whole night in my lungs
C G
I was breathing so hard and so fast
C G
I scored one for the catholic girls
C D
And I tried to stuff it all in a box
G C G
You know the kind that comes with a key
C G
You can it throw in the lake or bury somewhere
C G
I thought about the kid you knew before me
C D
And how he held onto that lock of your hair
G C G
He kept it tied up in a sad rubber band
C G
In his dresser drawer on the right side
C G
Now he walks around with strands of you all over him
C D
As if you were still spending the night
C D
I was jamming my hands in my pockets
C D
I swear I was zero at the bones
C D
If I felt my courage making a come back
C G
I was drunk I didn't let on
[Interlude]
G C G C
[Verse]
G C G
'Cause I was doing like my pa had always done
C G
I was trying to rise back from the dead
C G
Saying all those ghost prayers before the storm
C D
Hoping God won't hit me over the head
G C G
I guess I was out for a revelation
C G
I was kicking out agaist the darkness
C G
I had dew all over my body
C D
From sleeping in a ball under a park bench
C D
I was so sure I would never make it
C D
I remember like it happened only yesterday
C D
I don't know why I'm still holding onto it
C G
Don't hearts break nearly every other day
[Interlude]
G C G C (2x)
[Verse]
G C G
When you try to make the sweetness last
C G
'Cause everything happens so fast
C G
And your waiting with half dry eyes
C G
For something to fall or something to rise
