[Verse 1]
G D Em
A breath of whiskey on my cotton shirt
C G
Turn on the fan, take off your skirt
D
Lay here beside me on these sheets so stained
C G
For a little while, but it ain't the same
[Chorus]
Em C G
And she brings me water and it always tastes so good
D Em
She brings me flowers from the woods
C G
Stays here in this house with me when I know she'd rather leave
D G
Stays with me as I sleep
D
And she helps me nurse my lumberlung
C
But it's no longer fun
G
For her
C G C
[Verse 2]
G D Em
Once I dreamed we'd took a roadtrip, just me and her
C
Through the southern and midwest states
G D C
Turned north just south of Arkansas and we headed up
G
Towards the vast Great Lakes
[Outro]
Em D G
And I thought I'd sleep through Texas, but I woke up in Illinois
D
And the car in the lane next to me was driven by a little boy
Em C Em
And he flashed a smile at me then he drove straight off the road
C G
Smacked an overpass, I watched his car explode
D
And when she wakes me from my delirium
C
I know I'm no longer fun
G
For her
[Solo]
C G D Em
C G D C G
[Chorus]
Em C G
And she brings me water and it always tastes so good
D Em
She brings me flowers from the woods
C G
Stays here in this house with me when I know she'd rather leave
D G
Stays with me constantly
D
And she helps me nurse my lumberlung
C
But it's no longer fun
G G
For her...
D C G
God damn this lumberlung I know I'm no longer fun
