[Verse]
C F
I found my demons
C G
Caught them where they were sleeping
F C
Now I know I’ll never be alone
C F
Shaving after drinking
C G
Come downstairs steadily bleeding
F C
And exposing my jawbone
Am Am C
F F Am
[Chorus]
Am G
While my engine stammers and shakes
Am F C
Another quart of oil straight in the tank
F C
Push the pedal, pull the brake
F G C
[Verse]
C F
Seeing is deceiving
C G
And to think you had me believing
F C
In cottonwoods and two-step songs
C F
Got my papers of indenture
C G
So many years living up to my potential
F C
It’s probably time to take about twenty years off
Am Am C
F F Am
[Chorus]
Am G
While my engine stammers and shakes
Am F C
Another quart of oil straight in the tank
F C
Push the pedal, pull the brake
F G C
Push the pedal, pull the brake

[Bridge]
Dm F
Good morning South Carolina
Dm F C
Left a trail of dog bones behind you
Am G C
Hoping I might follow you inside
Am C G
Hoping I might follow......
[Chorus]
Am G
While my hands they tremble and shake
Am F C
Got to calm them down with another round of drinks
F C
Push the pedal, pull the brake
F G C
Push the pedal, pull the brake
F G
Push the pedal.......
F G C
Push the pedal, pull the brake
Am Am C
