[Intro] x4
G
Em
Well the holidays are over
C G
Families are scattered across the state
Em
All the lights are back in boxes
C G
Trees out by the road to face their fate
Em
An’ the night has finally settled
C G
Like dust on this one streetlight road
D
I’m a mile out of Mansfield
C Am7 G
Waitin’ for the clouds to unload
Em
There’s a station up ahead
C G
And a lifetime receding in my rear
Em
An’ the stereo keeps spitting out
C G
Some ancient song nobody wants to hear
Em
An’ the heater’s hardly working
C G
But the traffic has finally slowed
D
Twenty miles out of Mansfield
C Am7 G
Waitin’ for the clouds to unload
[Solo] x3
Em C G G
F Em G
For every hatchet you bury you carry a heavier load
Em
Maybe there’s no rhyme or reason
C G
We all grow out of everything one day
Em
And it kills me to admit it
C G
That place grew out of me the same way
Em
Now the universe is waking
C G
But a sunrise couldn’t shake this kind of cold
D
Three hundred miles out of Mansfield
C Am7 G
Waitin’ for the clouds to unload
D Cmaj7
Three hundred miles out of Mansfield
