Intro:

A minorAm x4

Verse:

A minorAm     G+G          C majorC C/BC/B
 We've seen good days in the past
A minorAm     G+G         C majorC         C/BC/B
 One too many bottles shared beneath the underpass
A minorAm    G+G         C majorC         FF         A minorAm       G+G
 It blows in this town, and oh, she'd love to walk you down the tracks she grew out of

Pre-Chorus:
FF      G+G          A minorAm  Am/GAm/G
 So keep my name, I'm coming back
FF      G+G         A minorAm     Am/GAm/G
 The rumours in this town never seem to last
FF       G+G       C majorC         FF
 And she knew just enough to fill her lungs and tell us off
    A minorAm                FF   G+G   G7G7
 Leave gold in the hills for islands in the midwest


Chorus:

C majorC
Sorry I waited
E minorEm
In this southern state
A minorAm
I was seeing double
FF
And you were running late
C majorC
They were wasted
E minorEm
Two looks on their face
A minorAm
Staring at each other
FF          C majorC C/BC/B
Someday I'll get away


Verse:

A minorAm    FF         C majorC         G+G
 If I had warmer clothes I'd wander down these frozen roads with you
A minorAm    FF       C majorC G/BG/B
 Barely high enough to see
A minorAm         FF       C majorC         A minorAm
 And slow, the darkness goes, and not a soul would even know
  FF    G+G         C majorC
 If you were hanging next to me

Verse:

A minorAm      G+G         C majorC C/BC/B
 She drew space between the houses
A minorAm      G+G       C majorC C/BC/B
 Of all the faces you let in
A minorAm         G+G      C majorC         FF
 But good things stand alone in two-bit towns and broken homes
   A minorAm             G+G
 When no-one waits to see what's next


Pre-Chorus:

FF     G+G          A minorAm Am/GAm/G
 It's just two roads cut in half
FF         G+G       A minorAm     Am/GAm/G
 Dust still coats the shapes and photographs
FF      G+G         C majorC        FF
 And she was free at last of living with an epitaph
    A minorAm          G+G  G7G7
 While you got old, she got fast


Chorus:

C majorC
 Sorry I waited
E minorEm
 In this southern state
A minorAm
 I was seeing double
FF
 And you were running late
C majorC
 They were wasted
E minorEm
 Two looks on their face
A minorAm
 Staring at each other
FF          C majorC C/BC/B
 Someday I'll get away
C majorC
 Sorry I waited
E minorEm
 In this southern state
A minorAm
 I was seeing double
FF
 And you were running late
C majorC
 They were wasted
E minorEm
 Two looks on their face
A minorAm
 Staring at each other
FF          C majorC C/BC/B
 Someday I'll get away


Outro:

A minorAm G+G C majorC
