verse 1 
Am                F 
 Marianne I don't wanna wait 
C                          G 
 The chapel's full but the preacher's late 
        Am                F               E7 
There's flies around our cake, shut the door 
Am                    F 
 My daddy came from a different world 
C                       G 
 I knew enough when his lips curled 
Am          F       C    G 
 Nobody visits anymore 


[Refrão]
Chorus 
Em                          F 
 I watched the faces for a long time 
Em                           F 
 I filled the poison to the water table line 
       C                   C/B 
I know there would fall the grace of God 
Am                  Am/G              D7/F# 
Still feels good to curse the odds of knowing what to do 
E7                       Am 
 With this old town and you 

Interlude 
Am F C G (x2) 

verse 2 
Am               F 
 LBJ didn't start the war 
        C                             G 
He just limped home wondering what he lost it for 
Am              F                 E7 
 I packed our bags, don't you hesitate 
Am                F                  C                         G 
We'll go north or we'll go west to a place we can reach for our better best 
Am                      F                C         G 
 Bring your mama's quilt and let 'em burn the rest

 I filled the poison to the water table line 
       C                   C/B 
I know there would fall the grace of God 
Am                  Am/G              D7/F# 
Still feels good to curse the odds of knowing what to do

C        G     Am     F                 C 
We'll be gone again before it gets too far 
    G            E7 
And this time, I won't look behind me 
C        G     Am       Am/G             D7/F# 
We'll be gone again and I know what I'll do 
                  E7                             Am 
When it's time to choose between this town and you
