VERSE:
Em                                                            Am
Whoever stared at you hold them close tonight
D                                                       G
‘Cause you’ll never know what will come
Em                                                       Am
Morning breaks and it’s just you and the shakes
D                                                                         G
If you made the right decision then you’re gone

Em                                                       Am
You’re broken promises are thrown out in the yard
D                                     G
How they glisten in the dark
Em                                                       Am
And in the cold you feed your fiddle to the stove
D                                     B                   Em
Screaming like a Banshee all night long

INSTRUMENTAL:
G B C Em
G B C D

CHORUS:
G                                     B
My hands are raw from working to the bone
C                                        Em
Just to make my way back to you
G                                                       B
If what it takes is to live out my mistakes
C                                             D
Then honey I will pay my dues
G                                                                       B
(Hard touring call) when did this world get so damn small
C                                                       Em
And my body’s so worn and used
G                                       B
It’s harder yet to forgive and forget
C                   D                   Em                   Em
When my memories are laced and blue

VERSE:
Em                                                       Am
That broken record starts playing on its own
D                                     G
Spinning out when no one else is home
Em                                     Am
And if you listen ‘til the end
D
It puts itself in place again
G
All night long

Em                                     Am
It’s not the songs or when the lights turned off and on
D                                                                       G
Or the screaming in my head that never ends
Em                                                       Am
It’s not your ghost that haunts me the most
D                            B                                     Em
But the fact that we may never meet again

INSTRUMENTAL:
G B C Em
G B C D

CHORUS:
G                                                       B
My hands are raw from working to the bone
C                                     Em
Just to make my way back to you
G                                     B
If what it takes is to live out my mistakes
C                                                       D
And honey I will pay my dues
G                                                                         B
(Hard touring call) when did this world get so damn small
C                                                       Em
And my body’s so worn and used
G                                     B
It’s harder yet to forgive and forget
C                                                       D                   G
When my memories are laced and blue ooh, ooh, ooh
