C Am
F G
[VERSE]
C Am
Caught up in glue
C Am
Living like a daydream
C Am
Looking like somebody new
F G
All stitched up in your tight seams
[VERSE]
C Am
Raised in the ripples
C Am
Call for the drinks we need
C Am
It looks plain and simple
F G
But when they cut, they don’t bleed
[CHORUS]
C Am
Up on the stake
F G C
When the wheels touch down
C Am
The shovels and rakes
F G
Bury us right down in the ground
C Am
Well, I know what’s at stake,
F G C
when the wheels touch down
Am F G
[VERSE]
C Am
No points in the quiver
C Am
The headwall comes crumbling
C Am
So hot that we shiver
F G
And our mouths they start mumbling
[VERSE]
C Am
But you can try to defend
C Am
And stay off of your back
C Am
But the lips get swollen
F G
As the widow makers they make contact
[VERSE]
C Am
Let the tongues speak in tongues
C Am
And let the starts get finished
C Am
Let the necks get hung
F G
Before they even know what the sin is
[CHORUS]
C Am
Up on the stake
F G C
When the wheels touch down
C Am
The shovels and rakes
F G
Bury us right down in the ground
C Am
Well, I know what’s at stake,
F G C
when the wheels touch down
[SOLO]
