[Intro]
Am Fmaj7 C/G (2x)
[Verse]
Am Fmaj7 C/G
The tortured howls of a motel ghost
Am Fmaj7 C/G
And the worship songs of a well-worn throat
Am Fmaj7 C/G
All cradle me as I waste alone
C/G G Gadd11 G
On a fool’s gold throne
E7 Fmaj7
With my troubles all in tow
Am Fmaj7 C/G
It's 86 dollars up front for the key
Am Fmaj7 C/G
Tack on another hundred for the company
Am Fmaj7 C/G
It's on my dime but she holds me tight
C/G G Gadd11 G
Yeah we fuck all night
E7 Fmaj7
For a moment I'm alright
[Chorus]
C/G G Am
Oh home is where I ought to be
Fmaj7 C/G G Gadd11 G
Out in the gentle country breeze with my family
C/G G Am
But cold, in a casket I lie
Fmaj7 C/G G Gadd11 G
Bare knuckle boxing polished wood And I've grown so tired
F
I've grown so tired
[Verse]
Am Fmaj7 C/G
All the rounders hide their saw-tooth grin
Am Fmaj7 C/G
With every page I burn for them
Am Fmaj7 C/G
As I sign myself away to grieve
C/G G Gadd11 G
Through blood stained sleeves
E7 Fmaj7
In the ashes of my needs
Am Fmaj7 C/G
As I stand within a makeshift ring
Am Fmaj7 C/G
Of follies lies and broken things
Am Fmaj7 C/G
And I shout and howl and I cry and I sing
C/G G Gadd1 G
Counting blessings down
E7 Fmaj7
And crossing the x's of my doubts
[Chorus]
C/G G Am
Oh glory, won't lay your hands on me
Fmaj7 C/G G Gadd11 G
Oh how it used to break me down but I'm finding peace
C/G G Am
Lord knows I can't look back now
Fmaj7 C/G G Gadd11 G
So I try and swallow pride, but it's awful going down
F
It's so awful going down
[Outro]
Am Fmaj7 C/G (2x)
