Intro: E A E A

        E
I'm stuck on a memory,
    A               E   B  A
Of you dancing in a backyard in North Jersey.
        E
You're holding sparklers,
    A                E       B  A
And silhouetted by the porch lights on a summer evening.
       C#     B         A
So, while I'm pulling my gloves off with my teeth,
  C#         B     A
It occurred to me you used to be happy.

      E       B  A
I curse the dashboard heat,
It's fucking freezing.
 E           B  A
Asleep in the backseat,
             Ab A
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty.
        Ab A
I feel so damn empty.


E A E A

    E
I keep thinking
        A               E      B  A
That I'll feel better when it's warmer across state lines.
     E      A              E            B  A
Now I'm scraping ice off of the windshield with a piece of broken taillight.
C#       B       A
Oh, I wouldn't quite call it homesick
      C#     B      A
but I keep seeing your face in the northbound traffic.

      E       B  A
I curse the dashboard heat,
It's fucking freezing.
 E           B  A
Asleep in the backseat,
             Ab A
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty.
        Ab A
I feel so damn empty.

B        C#   B
I'm gonna go to Georgia.
A
I'm gonna smile in the sun.
B            C#  B     A
I'm gonna pick you some wild day-lilies,
And I'm gonna hold on to them.
F#            A
I'm gonna keep them in my pocket
F#          A
Till you let me back home.
F#       A
I'm gonna go to Georgia,
F#         A
And I'm coming back whole.

      E       B  A
I curse the dashboard heat,
It's fucking freezing.
 E           B  A
Asleep in the backseat,
             Ab A
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty.
        Ab A
I feel so damn empty.

      E       B  A
I curse the dashboard heat,
It's fucking freezing.
 E           B  A
Asleep in the backseat,
             Ab A
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty.
        Ab A
I feel so damn empty.
