Chords with lyrics

[Intro]

A minorAm Am/F# FF Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B


[Verse]

       A minorAm          Am/F#
I guess I've got a taste for poison
   FF           Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B
I've given up on ever being well
    A minorAm        Am/F#
I keep mindin' the horizon
FF               Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B
Diggin' for lies I have yet to tell
  G+G+
And I wish you were here to softly say my name
FF                       Cadd9Cadd9
Calm down all the chemicals tearin through my brain
    G+G+
I don't think I've missed you this much since I was seventeen
  FF               Cadd9Cadd9
I'd call you in the morning, but I think this is a dream
FF    Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B
Cherokee
FF    Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B
Cherokee
      FF          Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B FF
Well you'd carve those doubts right out of me
       A minorAm          Am/F#
I see you shining through the treetops
       FF           Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B
but I don't feel you pulling strings anymore
    A minorAm         Am/F#
I still use your old alarm clock
FF                 Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B
Every morning I get further off of course
G+G+
And don't I hear you speaking in the noises of this house
FF                       Cadd9Cadd9
Airplanes flying over, shaking all my secrets out
G+G+
Darling tell me something that I don't already know
FF                  Cadd9Cadd9
I'm aware of where to find you. It hurts too bad to go.
FF    Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B
To Cherokee
FF    Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B
Cherokee
          FF          Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B FF
Well you'd carve those doubts right out of me


[Outro]

     G+G+
It felt like the world was burnin You had stars in your eyes
FF                     Cadd9Cadd9
Shinin for a feelin that I can't afford to buy
G+G+
Everything you taught me still rattles in my head
   FF                     Cadd9Cadd9
I'm stayin off of Main Street, you're talking to the dead
FF    Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B
In Cherokee
FF    Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B
Cherokee
      FF          Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B FF
