Colter Wall plays this with a capo on the second fret and the guitar tuned a whole step down. It's of course
possible to play it in standard tuning without the capo.

[Verse]
C
Prayin' on the north wind
F C
Lead me to my door
C
Thumbing through my green backs
G
Swearin' I made more
C
Some cruel nightly cycle
Am
Leaves me cryin' on a motel floor
C G
I don't cry for you
C
Anymore
[Verse 2]
C
Many a dark hour
F C
I look up to the sky
C
Many unkind thoughts are laid
G
On my hazy eyes
C
Sometimes I get to thinkin'
Am
Why wait around to die
C G
I don't think of you
C
So I get by
[Chorus]
F D7/F#
Every day it seems
C F
My whole damn life's just a codeine dream
C G
I don't dream of you
C
Anymore

[Verse 3]
C
The sun is gone away now
F C
Green grass turns to brown
C
Every December it gets a little bit harder
G
To lay that bottle down
C
It's more than just the weather
Am
That plagues this prairie town
C G
I won't be seeing you
C
When I come 'round
[Chorus]
F D7/F#
Every day it seems
C F
My whole damn life's just a codeine dream
C G
I don't dream of you
C
Anymore
