          Em
I've been thinkin' more
          G
I've been drinkin' less
C                          B
Listen to the birds, child they know best
          Em
I've been drinkin' less
          G
I've been thinkin' more

But I'm still passed out

Face down on the strangest floor

          Em
I've been takin' notes
   G
On wanderin' souls
C                   B
Figuring out what's stuck in my brain
    Em
And runnin' fast
     G
On a valley slam
C                   B
Only to be draggin' behind a train

Chorus:

    Em
And up above
   G
to down below
C                      B
Grass grows up just to die beneath the snow
    Em
And down below
   G
to up above
   C                               B
In reference to your head I need a more powerful love

Verse 4:
         Em
From our grifter friends
   G
To world wide trends
    C                      B
The only difference is the size of the lens
        Em
And the old oak tree
       G
To the lines on your hands
   C                          B
So perfectly expressed by the stars and the sand

Chorus:
Am G
Oh Oh

The backbone of this country is the black market rattlesnakes and crows
C             B           Am    G
Tragic comedy of a cosmic joke
C                 B             Am   G
Travel in the sky as you sing along
C                                  B                     Am    G
