Verse:
A minorAm G+G
I called my mom last night
C majorC FF
She said the monsoon winds were blowing in
C majorC FF
And the rain fell thick on the desert brush
A minorAm G+G
Like it does about twice a year
A minorAm G+G
We'll be in Saginaw by three
C majorC FF
I don't think I wish it was you and me
C majorC FF
And the darkness plays through the lights
A minorAm G+G
In every town in every state
Pre-Chorus:
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm G+G FF
But I'm not as close as I should be
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm G+G FF
And I'm not as far as I'd like to be
Chorus:
FF
So paint my heart
FF C majorC
Paint my heart with gold and call me what you like
FF
Just split me up
FF C majorC
Split me up in two and keep the better side
C majorC
I'll try to be that guy

I'll try to be there with your soul in mind
Verse:
A minorAm G+G
I know it's not my fault
C majorC FF
But my sense of worth is a wrecking ball
C majorC FF
It swings as soon as I look back
A minorAm G+G
And it hits all my love
A minorAm G+G
But I don't give a fuck
C majorC FF
Cuz I still don't think I'm good enough
C majorC FF
But you'd never know I'm trying to keep
A minorAm G+G
What's left of growing up
Pre-Chorus:
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm G+G FF
But I'm not as close as I should be

And I'm not as far as I'd like to be

I used to think that the stars at night
