Tom: C
Am G C C/B
We've seen good days in the past
Am G C C/B
One too many bottles shared beneath the underpass
Am G C F Am G
It blows in this town, and oh, she'd love to walk you down the tracks she grew out of
[Pre-Chorus]
F G Am Am/G
So keep my name, I'm coming back
F G Am Am/G
The rumours in this town never seem to last
F G C F
And she knew just enough to fill her lungs and tell us off
Am F G G7
Leave gold in the hills for islands in the midwest
[Chorus]
C
Sorry I waited
Em
In this southern state
Am
I was seeing double
F
And you were running late
C
They were wasted
Em
Two looks on their face
Am
Staring at each other
F C C/B
Someday I'll get away
[Verse]
Am F C G
If I had warmer clothes I'd wander down these frozen roads with you
Am F C G/B
Barely high enough to see
Am F C Am
And slow, the darkness goes, and not a soul would even know
F G C
If you were hanging next to me
[Verse]
Am G C C/B
She drew space between the houses
Am G C C/B
Of all the faces you let in
Am G C F
But good things stand alone in two-bit towns and broken homes
Am G
When no-one waits to see what's next
[Pre-Chorus]
F G Am Am/G
It's just two roads cut in half
F G Am Am/G
Dust still coats the shapes and photographs
F G C F
And she was free at last of living with an epitaph
Am G G7
While you got old, she got fast
[Chorus]
C
Sorry I waited
Em
In this southern state
Am
I was seeing double
F
And you were running late
C
They were wasted
Em
Two looks on their face
Am
Staring at each other
F C C/B
Someday I'll get away
C
Sorry I waited
Em
In this southern state
Am
I was seeing double
F
And you were running late
C
They were wasted
Em
Two looks on their face
Am
Staring at each other
F C C/B
Someday I'll get away
