[Intro]
E C#m (x2)
[Verse]
E
Lost in the South. My thermostat don’t work
C#m
I’m sweating naked on my bed
C#m
It’s gonna fade a nasty yellow in the morning
E
Another blank face staring through me
C#m
Like a chalk outline
C#m
of dreams that bled out in the night
A C#m B A
A post-mortem portrait of loneliness
A
Some heavy-handed statement like, “I’ve never felt at home.”
[Interlude]
E C#m
[Verse]
E
And some asshole shot up some kids
C#m
A week before you left for Portland
C#m
I’m thinking about dying again
E
From the worst outcomes of a world that I can’t slow down
C#m
No matter how many times
C#m
I throw my hands into the air
A
and plead with everyone
C#m B A
I know it’s wrong
A
but I’m thinking about buying a gun
[Chorus]
E
Would you meet me in the middle?
G#m C#m
Would you meet me north of Buffalo?
A B E
We’ll escape into the winter;
G#m C#m
Build a house where no one wants to go
A B E
Meet me in the middle
G#m C#m
Would you meet me north of Buffalo?
A B E
We’ll escape into the winter;
G#m C#m
Build a house where no one wants
A B E
No one wants to ever go
[Interlude]
E C#m (x2)
[Bridge]
A
Cause that’s not an option
E
When everything looks like an
B C#m A
epitaph staring back at me
E
I’ll pace this parking lot
B C#m A
trying to squeeze out from this misery
E
How do I find you
B C#m A
When you’re lost out in the sea of green
E B C#m A
Iif the sun won’t come back?
A C#m B A
Rather be sheep in a snowstorm
A B E A
Than a lion in the brush
C#m B A
Rather be sheep trapped in a snowstorm
A
Than a lion in the brush
N.C.
In the sights of a bastard who can’t get it up
[Chorus]
E
Would you meet me in the middle?
G#m C#m
Would you meet me north of Buffalo?
A B E
We’ll escape into the winter;
G#m C#m
Build a house where no one wants to go
A B E
Meet me in the middle
G#m C#m
Would you meet me north of Buffalo?
A B E
We’ll escape into the winter;
G#m C#m
Build a house where no one wants
A B E
No one wants to ever go
[Outro]
