Intro: A5  F5  C5  F5  C5

F5
She lifts her skirt up to her knees
C5
Walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing
F5
I never learned to count my blessings
C5
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters

A5
Walk on down the hill
E5
Through the grass grown tall and brown
F5 C5
And still it's hard somehow to let go of my pain
A5
On past the busted back
E5
Of this old and rusted Cadillac
F5 C5
That sinks into this field collecting rain

C5 A5 E5
Will I always feel this way
C5 A5 E5
So empty, so estranged

( A5 )

F5
Of these cutthroat busted sunsets,
C5
These cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary
F5
If through my cracked and dusty dimestore lips
C5
I spoke these words out loud would no one hear me

A5
Lay your blouse across the chair
E5
Let  fall the flowers from your hair
F5 C5
And  kiss me with that country mouth so plain
A5
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves
E5
To me it sounds like they're
F5 C5
applauding us, the quiet love we make

C5 G5 A5 F5 E5
Will I always feel this way
C5 A5 E5
So empty, so estranged

( A5  F5  C5  F5  C5 )

F5
Well I looked my demons in the eyes
C5
Laid bare my chest said do your best and destroy me
F5
See I've been to hell and back so many times
C5
I must admit you kind of bore me

A5
There's a lot of things that can kill a man
E5
There's a l ot of ways to die
F5 C5
Yes and some already dead who walk beside you
A5
There's a lot of things I don't understand
E5
Why so many people lie
F5 C5
Well it's the hurt you hide that fuels the fires inside you

C5 A5 E5
Will I always feel this way
C5 A5 E5
So empty, so estranged
