C F Am Dm
Am F Am Dm C
C
bug bitten beautiful
F
And down on our luck
Am
the days they all grow shorter
Dm
as the bottles pile up
C
wrapped in scars and rags
and bad tattoos
F
not a tether left to cut
Am
laughing and singing
Dm C
all the way back down to hell
Dm C
Singin' we can't help you
F
help yourself
Am
but we can promise
life's much better
Dm
once you've tumbled off the shelf
C
so burn that suit and tie
F
tear down the walls in which you're caged
Am Dm C
have they truly made you happy anyway

C
Never bite your tongue
F
just let that whiskey bite your throat
Am
cause the words you scream
Dm
are so much more important than you know
C
success is not about the money
F
and it's not your social class
Am Dm
it's about finding your happiness
C
so get up off your ass
F Am
and go out-side
Am F Dm
I promise that you'll never see more clear
C
don't be afraid to live
F
go find out who you truly are
Am Dm
cause no one needs to know you more
C
than you you my dear
Interlude 2:
C F Am Dm
Am F Am Dm C
C
You know I've made my bad decisions
F
and I can live with that
Am
cause even on the worst days
Dm
life's never all that bad
F
to feel the starlight on a fright train
Am
see the sunrise on the road
Dm
so xxxxxxx beautiful
C
and it never will get old
F
Unlike these darkrooms
Am Dm
with cracked walls and carpets
F Am Dm
so stagnant alone grey and cold
C F
and every time I come back
Am Dm
one less tree one more road
Am Dm C
I don't think this is home any-more
Interlude 3:
C F Am F
C F Am Dm C
C F
So tear down and clear out and build up
Am Dm
why can't these people just be satis-fied
C
cause they need another strip mall
F
and they need another lane
Am Dm C
on that road that over beauty has been paved
C F
And I can't help but think about
Am Dm
do they understand what they've des-troyed
C F
another farm road replaced
Am Dm
with a toll way to-day
Am Dm C
this don't feel like my home any-more
C
So as of late the only words
F
that I sing are of
Am
gettin' back to you
Dm
and outta here
C C
cause I've been down on my health
F F
and down on my luck
Am Dm C
and you make me feel better dear
