Intro: B minorBm D MajorD E minorEm G+G

Verse
B minorBm                 D MajorD
Smooth stones have fallen once more out of the sky now like rain
E minorEm               G+G
I'm outside on the front lawn, getting beaten black and blue again
G+G                      D MajorD
Lookin' back now I always preferred, child, my enemies to my friends
E MajorE                       G+G
It always just seemed logical, like something constant, upon which you can depend
B minorBm                      D MajorD
If my father was an earthquake, now, then my mother was a hurricane
E MajorE             G+G
Me I've got my hands full, walkin' in a straight line, remembering my own name

B minorBm                   G+G
   I was born in the trees around my home

Bled fire out into the arms of the sky
B minorBm        Bb majorBb          G minorGm
The world snapped beneath your feet and every thing that was alive had died
E MajorE                           G+G
I was born to a cold wind, take the words out of your mouth, the color out of your eyes
    E minorEm
I just keep what I can carry now, and leave the rest behind

B minorBm D MajorD  E MajorE  G+G

Verse
B minorBm                   D MajorD
I heard stories of those city lights as I head out among the trees
E MajorE                    G+G
Bows bendin' like a spider web, letting no light in for the eye to see
B minorBm            D MajorD
Fireflies, summer skies, downward pressure of the heat
E MajorE                     G+G
I sneak down that gravel at night til your black eye is hotter than the Tennessee concrete

B minorBm           Bb majorBb       G+G
   I was born in the trees around my home

Bled fire out into the arms of the sky
B minorBm        Bb majorBb             G+G
The world snapped beneath your feet and everything that was alive had died
   E minorEm                       G+G
I was born to a cold wind, take the words out of your mouth, the color out of your eyes
E minorEm                G+G
I just keep what I can carry now and leave the rest behind

B minorBm  D MajorD  E MajorE  G+G
B minorBm  D MajorD  E MajorE  G+G

Verse
B minorBm                D MajorD
Clear to go there's a heavy load, watch the human car castle fall apart
E minorEm                           G+G
I'll tell you right now it's more about the stomach out here than it is about the heart
B minorBm                D MajorD
See a man now playing in a dark cafe with everybody's back turned
E MajorE                         G+G
Sometimes we've just gotta put our hands into the fire, to make sure that it still burns
B minorBm               D MajorD
Red light at them downtown bars pours out and puddles in the streets
E MajorE                    G+G
I know that some of you out there are starving, but it ain't for lack of something to eat

B minorBm        Bb majorBb
I was born in the trees around my home
G+G
Bled fire out into the eyes of the sky
B minorBm         Bb majorBb             G+G
The world snapped, beneath your feet and everything that was alive had died
   E MajorE                        G+G
I was born to a cold wind, take the words out of your mouth, the color out of your eyes
E minorEm              G+G
Just keep what you can carry now, and leave the rest behind
