Codeine by Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit (Standard Tuning) VERSE G D Em7 C9 If there's one thing I can't stand G D Em7 C9 it's this bar and this cover band G D Em7 C9 trying to fake their way through 'Castles Made of Sand.' G D Em7 C9 That's one thing I can't stand. G D Em7 C9 If there's one thing I can't take G D Em7 C9 it's the sound that a woman makes G D Em7 C9 about five seconds after her heart begins to break. G D Em7 C9 That's one thing I can't take. BRIDGE Bm C9 She should be home by now but she ain't. Bm C9 I should've gone by now but I cain't. CHORUS G D Em7 C9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine. G D Em7 C9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine. VERSE G D Em7 C9 Them eyes was big as stars G D Em7 C9 when I saw you behind the bar. G D Em7 C9 I guess that's the way to keep on smilin' where you are. G D Em7 C9 But girl them eyes was big as stars. G D Em7 C9 It sounds funny when you say my name. G D Em7 C9 It's like you're chewing on a foreign thing G D Em7 C9 and you won't get to sleep 'till dawn if it don't rain. G D Em7 C9 It sounds so funny when you say my name. BRIDGE Bm C9 You oughta come home tonight but you won't. Bm C9 I wish we knew how to fight but we don't. CHORUS 2 G D Em7 C9 One of your friends has taken you in and given you Codeine. G D Em7 C9 One of your friends has taken you in and given you Codeine. VERSE G D Em7 C9 Darlin' I'm not one to judge G D Em7 C9 but if I was then I'd say you don't look so good. G D Em7 C9 Got no answers of my own G D Em7 C9 but with you gone, this place looks bigger than it should. G D Em7 C9 If there's two things that I hate G D Em7 C9 it's having to cook and trying to date. G D Em7 C9 Busting ass all day to play 'hurry up and wait.' G D Em7 C9 That's a few things that I hate. BRIDGE Bm C9 If I call when I ain't drunk Bm C9 This old boat'll still be sunk CHORUS 3 G D Em7 C9 'cause one of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine. G D Em7 C9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine. G D Em7 C9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine. G D Em7 C9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine.
