♫ Intro: 

Bb   F
Dm7  Bbsus2

 
 
♫ Verse 1:
        Bb
I'm the tall glass of water 

you lost in your kitchen
    F
I'm casually cruel like a senior prediction
     Dm7                         
Most likely to leave at the 
                      Bbsus2
Sign of a fork in the road
           Bb
You looked just like your father

As the news was delivered
      F
Cut a hole in my heart that bled into my liver
       Dm7                                   
I miss bein' alone 
                          Bbsus2
When it didn't mean bein' alone
 
 
♫ Verse 2:
       Bb
And if love was contagious, 

I might be immune to it
F
Pain's like cold water, 

Your brain just gets used to it
  Dm7                            
I try to keep swimmin' and keep 
                      Bbsus2
Dad's good word in my mouth
 
            Bb
But they're fightin' like dogs 

In thе town 'cross the river
       F
Over a brand new crosswalk 

That won't matter come winter
       Dm7                      
Oh sometimes folks just need 
                            Bbsus2
Something to be angry about
                Bb
What you angry about?
 
 
♫ Chorus 1: 
        F                       F/A
I ain't bitter 'bout much these days
                       Bb               F
In some ways, I'm damn lucky to be here
              F                     F/A
Where all the miners stayed in them good old days
          Bb                     F
Yes, real men used to sleep here
 
          Dm                       C5
All those roadside graves where my friends still lay
       Bb                   F
I walk by just to weep here
         Dm                 A/C#
They say killin' time ain't a homicide
      Bb
But a prayer for a leap year
Bb F
Bb F
 
 
♫ Verse 3:
        Bb
I'm the roach in your drawer, 

I lived here long before you
        F
I'm the rumble of war, 

It gets hard to ignore you
     Dm7
Well love, sometimes folks 

Just need something they can scream at
Bbsus2
Scream at
 
        Bb
I'm the hills in the distance, 

You see me, can't be me
    F
You need me in half, Lord, 

I need you completely
   Dm7                        
Oh sometimes folks just need 
                              Bb
Something they can scream at

In some ways, I'm damn lucky to be here
              F                     F/A
Where all the miners stayed in them good old days
          Bb                     F
Yes, real men used to sleep here
 
          Dm                      
All those roadside graves 
         C5
Where my friends still lay
       Bb                   F
I walk by just to weep here
