D   F   G   D



🎸 Verse 1:
   D                                 C  
I wear my father's leather on the inside of my skin
       G/B                   G           F        C     F    C   F     
I'm a tried and weathered woman, but I won't be tried again        
 C      D                                     C  
Don't think that you can come for me without your Sunday best
          F                                   C   
You had better call your priest and hope the devil gets the rest
          D  
Before I do
F               G     D             
Oh, and I will do      

🎸 Verse 2:
        D                              C   
I've wanted to cast spells and I have vanished with the fools
F                            C 
I have worshiped at the altar of the puppet master's rule
         D                              C   
I have held my tongue to many scenes before the final act
          F                                C    
With my children in the cheap seats and a zipper on my back
            D
Thanks to you
F             G    D
No thanks to you

🎸 Chorus: 
 D                 C 
Tethered in wide open spaces
     G/B                 Bb              
In fields that lead for miles
 Bb              Am         D   
Right into the barrel of a gun
 Bb               Am
Mendin' up your fences with my
  D      C      Bb  
Horses runnin' wild
 Bb           Am            D 
Only broken horses know to run

🎸 Verse 3:, D                            C   
I have so politely treaded softly for your praise
         F                                       C   
I have whispered through the tears and pleaded sweetly to your face
      D                                   C  
It's time to spit you out like lukewarm water from my mouth
         F                          C                        
I will always taste the apathy, but I won't pass it down
             D    F   
Enough with you      
 G    D
You

Tethered in wide open spaces
     G/B                 Bb              
In fields that lead for miles
 Bb              Am         D   
Right into the barrel of a gun
 Bb               Am
Mendin' up your fences with my
  D      C      Bb  
Horses runnin' wild
 Bb           Am            D 
Only broken horses know to run
