Chords with lyrics
[Verse]
C majorC G+G C majorC
She buried me in powder in the rain
C majorC FF C majorC
She buried me in sapphire, wicked pain
C majorC G+G E minorEm FF
after she carried me away to a place I had ashamed
C majorC G+G
after she put out my lit cigarette on her boot
C majorC G+G C majorC
A augmentedA woman makes a boy out of a man
C majorC FF C majorC
When he thought he knew just how he’d play his hand
C majorC G+G E minorEm FF
Who’s barking orders at the rook, make him pay for time he took
C majorC G+G
after she back stacked every king that’s what she do
[Chorus]
C majorC E minorEm
And you, heirloom,
FF C majorC
had your room painted blue
FF C majorC G+G
and you showed me how the crow flies from your heart
C majorC E minorEm
And I don’t mind
FF C majorC
I’ll do what I’ll do
FF C majorC G+G
But I won’t cry when I leave this town
[Verse]
C majorC G+G C majorC
She buried me in progress on the range
C majorC FF C majorC
She bulls-eyed from the hip as if she’d aimed
C majorC G+G E minorEm FF
After she heard of my complaint about a place where I felt safe
C majorC G+G
And how it changes, with the energy I knew
C majorC G+G C majorC
This world has made a boy out of a man
C majorC FF C majorC
Oh I thought I knew but I don’t understand
C majorC G+G E minorEm FF
Who breaks the ranks to which I took, makes the rules I overlook?
C majorC G+G
Just when I thought I knew a thought of something true
[Chorus]
C majorC E minorEm
And you, heirloom,
FF C majorC
had your room painted blue
FF C majorC G+G
and you showed me how the crow flies from your heart
C majorC E minorEm
And I don’t mind
FF C majorC
I’ll do what I’ll do
FF C majorC G+G
