Biography:
Rhett Miller (born Stewart Ransom Miller II on September 6, 1970) is the lead singer and songwriter for the alternative-country band the Old 97's. He graduated from St. Mark's School of Texas in Dallas in 1989.
While still in high school, he recorded his first solo effort, Mythologies, released on the Carpe Diem label, and produced by future 97 Murry Hammond. Miller and Hammond then formed the group Sleepy Heroes, a power-pop trio that released one CD - Under A Radio Sun - and promptly disbanded.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This tab is based on Rhett Miller's solo performance. Have seen him a
number of times and there is often a variation on the instrumental
breaks, and sometimes a longer intro and outro and sometimes not but
generally stays within the chord pattern here.
VERSE 1:
G C G
Well I married Caroline back in May of ’99
C G D C
it was fucked up at the time but I figured we’d keep tryin’
G C G
her brother and her dad they were spitting mad
C G D C
when I packed up what I had and took off runnin’ it was bad
G C G
it was mean I didn’t care and it’s gotten me nowhere
D G

VERSE 2:
G C G
I turned left turns into right I turned sunshine into night
C G D C
I got my ass kicked every fight no I couldn’t get it right
G C G
I built castles out of sand I didn’t understand
C G D C
why everything I planned ran like whiskey off my hand
G C G
and my hands were never clean things I wished I’d never seen
C G D C
I’d do anything to wake up from this motherfuckin’ dream
CHORUS:
G C G
Who do I got to blow to get in this fuckin’ show
C G D C
it’s dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go
G C G
but I need a place to hide so I’ll put away my pride
C D G
and come inside ’cause I’m tired of running
BREAK:
G C G C D G
G C G C D G
BRIDGE:
G C
And there’s a universe that’s floating out in space
G C
and I look up there and I can’t find my face
G Am
and I’m seein’ my reflection backstage
D
writin’ down the same old words on the same old page
CHORUS:
G C G
Who do I got to blow to get in this fuckin’ show
C G D C
it’s dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go
G C G
but I need a place to hide so I’ll put away my pride
C D G
and come inside ’cause I’m tired of running

who’d I got to blow to get in this fuckin’ show
