[Verso 1]
 
C                       F 
I wear out the same old tapes of country music 
C                    F 
Neural pathways, old shoes and waning patience 
C                            F 
Catch your reflection in the window 
                          C    F 
I cant keep up with your changin' 
C                     F 
Belly warm cold night walk home from the bar 
C                      F 
Im gonna miss sliding round in your old car 
C           F 
I wanna watch the moss grow on the window 
         C      F 
From the inside 
 


[Verso 2]
 
   C                          F 
In caves we dig out from each others crumpled forms 
C                              F 
Now leave me hollow, once gave shelters to your storms 
C                 F                    C           F 
Mouth it one more time, i wanna make a home out of you 
C                        F 
Lie down in piled sunlit blankets on my floor 
C                         F 
No more questions sped up blue pills and four roses 
C                        F            C       F 
Finally my thoughts come slow, its 9am right here

[Verso 3]
 
C                     F 
Cut up in barbed wire stubborn like a kid 
C                     F 
Searching for psychic messages in brain rot television 
C                    F 
Drunk as hell in the pale blue light 
C              F 
Always wanting more 
     C                  F 
So i wake up early come visit you at work 
         C                                F 
Lock our bikes together, voice wrapped in customer service 
C                      F                          C 
Text me bids for human understanding in 5 perfect words: 
          F 
I fuckin hate my job 
          C                         F 
Now its happy birthday!, friends fill the living room 
C                         F 
Cognitive dissonance like anybody loves you 
C           F 
You are who you want to be 
C                      F 
I just want to see you changing 
 


[Verso 4]
 
C                    F 
Toss the ball for my dog down in the wet leaves 
C                          F 
He's the sweetheart of the rodeo 
        C                             F 
He will always look the same and live forever in my heart: 
C                F 
Wagging, wet and happy 
         C                     F 
And i am afraid now of certain things i didnt used to be 
C                         F 
My mom's hair is long and beautiful and white 
C                        F                        C 
Drop you at the airport, i love you, ill see you soon 
                   F 
Just one more kiss goodbye 
 


[Verso 5]
 
              C           F 
And you could go anywhere you need to go 
               C                            F 
Ill trace the edges of your highways, like rivers where you flow 
              C                      F 
Ill mail you books for 30 days in a jail in new hampshire 
C                        F 
Ride my bike down to the show 
         C                     F 
And just wear out the same old tapes of country music 
C                             F 
Circles round my backyard bad jokes and worse excuses 
C                           F 
Catching reflections in the rearview 
                              C  F 
You couldnt drag me there at gunpoint
