Verse 1:
F

I flung the door open and let the heat rise
Bb
To heat up the world 'cause I thought it was mine
    F                                    C
And  all the while all of my plants froze inside
                                   F
'Cause  there's only so much to go 'round


Verse 2:
       F
And it took me some tries and a whole lotta kindling
         Bb
When  the lesson arrived, it only took me a minute
F                                             C
To learn there are some things are better off freezing
                               F
I can tell you a few that I've found


Chorus:
Bb
Hate is a thing that can poison your veins
    F
And  get in your eyes when you're sweating on stage
C
Shifting around for a clock on the wall
Bb                   F
Tell you it's almost over
Bb
Vans that keep rolling and times for the birds
F
The chirp in your ears, all the rumors they heard
C
Flying above all the good in this world
Bb                     F
Shitting on cattle and clover


Verse 3:
         F
Now when I was a young boy I thought I could track
Bb
And an old-timer sat down and reached me a sack
F                                     C
And he told me all of the knowledge I lacked
                                F
On an ornery ol' thing called a Snipe


Verse 4:
   F
He picked me up on a Friday and he dropped me in Charley
Bb
Told me when he'd be back and he went off to party
    F                                 C
And I sat on the hill like a Jeremiah Johnson
                                F
And I froze my dumb ass off all night


Verse 5:
    F
And that's the way that I feel when I look at our past
        Bb
And the handshakes you gave me, if you're callin' them that
        F                                 C
And the snickers you tried to pass off as laughs
                                F
And the way your eyes never met mine


Chorus:
Bb
Paranoia's a thing that you’re makin’ when sleep
F
Ain't a thing you recall, ain't a habit you keep
C
One ol' boy's nightmare is another fool's dream
     Bb                      F
It's all in the way that you hold her
Bb
Hotels are lonely, I reckon I'd know
     F
I've spent many of night in between shows
C
Looking at paint as it dries on the wall
     Bb                      F
On a booger you just painted over


[Break]

Verse 6:
N.C.
Life reminds me of a card game we played as a kid
N.C.
Where you laid down the deck 'til you got to the end
N.C.
Early on there's a joker got lost 'neath the fridge
N.C.                                   F
Over time all the queens moved in with him


Verse 7:
        F
And I'd say the boy had him an absolute ball
       Bb
But he ruined the card game for all us involved
      F                                 C
And I let it take me over like kudzu in Georgia
                             F
And I hope you don't do that again
