[Verse 1]
Am
Oh one last cold
embrace
Grab your coat
 and
          A#
get your bag
And tie your
 E7
lace
We're getting
ready
          Am
for the crawl
Am
Before the grace
Of God and all
I knew
      A#
back home
         E7
So far away
We're getting
ready
         Am
for the crawl

[Chorus]
E7
I lost my name
Travelin'
   Am
through
this empty
plain
E7
I'm killin'
 pain
          Am
And I'm feelin'
so ashamed
Dm
Filthy rags and
nudie mags
Am
Empty cans and
shaky hands
B7
Thinkin' about
             E7
who I was before

[Verse 2]
C   Am
Oh one last
cold embrace
Say goodbye
my
          A#
love for now
We'll have
    E7
to wait
I'm getting
ready
         Am
for the crawl
Am A# x2
Am A# E7 Am


[Chorus]
E7
I lost my
 name
Travelin'
   Am
through
this empty
plain
E7
I'm killin'
 pain
And I'm
  Am
feelin'
so ashamed
Dm
Spendy tags
and
 Gucci bags
Am
Holding hands
 and
makin' plans
B7
Thinkin'
about who
I could
      Am
have been


[Outro]
C   Am
Oh one last
cold
embrace
Down on my
luck
I've
         A#
lost all hope
          E7
I see my fate
And now I'm
ready
          Am
for the crawl
Am A# x2
