Intro: G Em Cadd9 G Em D G 

Verse 
G                     Cadd9 
pictures on the wall, bottle in her hand 
D                        Cadd9          G 
children never call, she misses her old man 
G                     Cadd9 
Rain on the window, quiet as a tear 
D                                Cadd9            G 
And if you never felt'em, you'll never know there here 


[Refrão]
 
Em        Cadd9         G 
Someone's cryin' in the hall 
Em   Cadd9        D 
Good Lord help us all 
Em       Cadd9         G      Cadd9 
While we try to stay afloat 
       Em 
if you would Lord 
D      G 
send a boat 

Verse 
G                  Cadd9 
Holes in the wall, bottle by his bed 
D                   Cadd9       G 
Holes in his past, empty as his head 
G                            Cadd9 
He's younger when he dreams, he's older than his years 
D                       Cadd9               G 
if if he never wakes up he'll know why he's here

Verse 
G                     Cadd9 
Writings on the wall, bruise on his face 
D                    Cadd9           G 
daddy's come and go, his mama's on a date 
G                         Cadd9 
hes just cold and hungry, playing ain't no fun 
D                        Cadd9           G 
and if he ever grows up, he'll get him a gun
