Verse:
D                Dsus4
I've got somethin' here, it's a chance
   Dsus4/C       Dsus4/B
I'm'a make my changes as I go and the city lights
D       Dsus4
Dance away the stars
    Dsus4/C      Dsus4/B    D          Dsus4
I have met all kinds of reasons why the seasons leave their scars
   Dsus4/C     Dsus4/B   D        Dsus4
I am thin as cinnamon and tarnish like these metal cars
   Dsus4/C     Dsus4/B   D   D
That drive along the rivers of the tar
       D      Dsus4
I am weatherproof as the rain
     Dsus4/C   Dsus4/B   D       Dsus4
And I've fooled every lover into drinkin' up my pain
   Dsus4/C    Dsus4/B   D       Dsus4
I am hangin by the edges of my name, but I am warm
  Dsus4/C   Dsus4/B      D    D
So comfortable forgetting bout the storm

You said a house is a tomb

I'm going back to the lake
   Dsus4/C      Dsus4/B
This time of year it's frozen through

Aint nothing gonna break
     Dsus4/C      Dsus4/B
Well I'll take you there and show you where

I used to spend my time

Before workin', before leavin, before wine
