[Verse]
A D
There's a voice from clear across the plains
A D
With an accent that you can't mistake
A E D
But this song, it don't take place in Texas
B D A
It's in a landlocked type of state
A D
And the statics humming me to sleep
A D
On the floor, the only way to beat the heat
A E D
This is why I don't write you letters
B D A
They never mention these things
[Chorus]
A D
You can take another hit but (you can try and top it)
A D
Try and hold your breath (it's just another hit in)
A D
Vain, I've got a grasp on my own isolation
D A
An abridged adaptation of it
[Verse]
A D
The insanity we can't escape
A D
Losing brain cells and the Teflon flakes
A E D
I got my own way of fighting cancer
B D A
And you ain't one of them
A D
Stealing groceries just to stay awake
A D
Sleepwalk through the aisles to numb the ache
A E D
Can you hide it inside your jacket
B D A
And make a quick escape?
[Chorus]
A D
You can lie about the price of (keeping it inside it's)
A D
Not the greatest gig but (can't you see I'm trying)
A D
Not to bum you out, I feel so sick inside
D A
I'm just trying to hide out lately
[Verse 2]
B D A
Blurry visions from the karaoke prompter
B D A
Nodding off to not so distant laughter
B D A
They're gonna watch you die from starvation
B D A
And your scars will all have names
[Outro]
A D
Whistling
A D
Whistling
A D
Whistling
D A
Whistling
