Rugged Country chords by Japanese Breakfast

verse 1
E   B     G#m          C#m
6 6 6 sixteen-year-old kids
E                   B
huddled around the grocery lot
    E              B            G#m               C#m
"He punched out my teeth" so you said, so did the evidence
    E             B           C#m                G#m
The blood and the dent on the car door from your head


verse 2
    E
And this is where I bring you
     B                       A
With every laurel I've hung from your neck
        E
It will be the noose that hangs you
            E
Yes it will be the noose that hangs you

Pre-Chorus
            B                    G#m
Cause I was lonely here and its lonely still
        C#m                       E
In the rugged country where the weeds grow fierce
        B                    G#m
Quicker than the crop I keep running from
        C#m
In this rugged country


Chorus
         E
I'm the rugged one
         B
I'm the rugged one
         G#m
I'm the rugged one
         C#m
I'm the rugged one


verse 3
 E
And this is where we lost you
        B               A
Despite every effort to bring you back
          E
Yeah, the hopes the one that haunts you
        B                             A
And the home's the rope thats wrapped around your neck
            E
And it will be the noose that hangs you
            E
Yes it will be the noose that hangs you


Pre-Chorus
           B                  G#m
And it's a heavy hand where I wear your death
     C#m                 E
As a wedding ring in the rugged country
       B                  G#m
I tend to your man in the home you had
      C#m
Oh in this rugged country


Chorus
         E
I'm the rugged one
         B
I'm the rugged one
         G#m
I'm the rugged one
         C#m           E
I'm the rugged one
