Capo 2
[Verse]
Em C G
All my chips are on the table
Em C G
And all my cards are showing now
Em C G
Things aren't going like I promised
D C
But I swear I'll figure it out
Em C G
This season's soil it just ain't taking
Em C G
The last few years we bled her dry
Em C G
There used to be cotton and tobacco
D C
Now nothing grows no matter what we try
Em C G
You know that store two counties over
Em C G
On Tuesday nights they only run one man
Em C G
Now hear me out I know it's risky
D C
But you gotta trust me, I've got a plan
[Chorus]
C G
You can't call yourself a farmer just because you plant a seed
C
You must bargain with the dirt
G D
Your hands must blister, they must bleed
Em D G C
Only then will you find beauty not in the bloom but in the weeds
Em D C G
O' lover, love is not the only thing from you I need
[Interlude]
Em C G Em C G
[Verse]
Em C G
Got my dad's 38 revolver
Em C G
And I've got a car that'll get us away
Em C G
We'll just let it do the talking
D C
No one gets hurt if they listen to what I say
Em C G
Now get your hands where I can see em
Em C G
Keep your mouth shut and fill the bag
Em C G
Thought I made myself extremely clear
D C
What part of that did you not understand?
[Chorus]
C G
You can't call yourself a farmer just because you plant a seed
C
You must bargain with the dirt
G D
Your hands must blister, they must bleed
Em D G C
Only then will you find beauty not in the bloom but in the weeds
Em D C G
O' lover, love is not the only thing from you I need
Em D C G
No lover, love is not the only thing from you I need
[Interlude]
Em C G Em C G
Em C G D C
[Verse]
Em C G
Now listen up babe, please stop shaking
Em C G
It's very important what I'm bout to say
Em C G
We only did what we did to survive
D C
No one can know what happened here today
