CAPO 3

Finger-Picking

INTRO:
C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7 A minorAm (2x)

VERSE 1:
C majorC            Fmaj7Fmaj7  A minorAm
This town bleeds like an open wound
A minorAm            G+G  C majorC
You found no peace in a rented room
C majorC            Fmaj7Fmaj7    A minorAm
And every brick sings a different tune
A minorAm             G+G  C majorC
Either kissed or cried on every avenue
C majorC                  Fmaj7Fmaj7  A minorAm
Well as she steals an hour from the darkest night
A minorAm            G+G      C majorC
Wraps it up in gold and gives me some light
C majorC                   Fmaj7Fmaj7   A minorAm
‘til there's nothing but shivers going down my spine
A minorAm              G+G       C majorC
Rather wake for an hour than sleep for a lifetime
C majorC                  Fmaj7Fmaj7  A minorAm
Well I make my way through the rain torn street
A minorAm             G+G    C majorC
Past the drunks and their pieces of meat
C majorC            Fmaj7Fmaj7  A minorAm
The alcohol now clouds their minds
A minorAm           G+G   C majorC
Souls are wishing for closing time

CHORUS:
A minorAm *            G*        C majorC
And the coat she bought is bound to keep me warm
A minorAm *         G*       Fmaj7Fmaj7
Buttons are hanging off, sleeves are torn
A minorAm *       G*       C majorC
The wind outside howls like a newborn

C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7 A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC (2x)

VERSE 2:
C majorC              Fmaj7Fmaj7          A minorAm
Please tell me why I’m here before you tell me to stay
A minorAm            G+G  C majorC
The big bang doesn’t care if I pray
C majorC               Fmaj7Fmaj7   A minorAm
Well I could fill my time in a million ways
A minorAm              G+G  C majorC
Put a little bit of sunshine in my day
C majorC              Fmaj7Fmaj7   A minorAm
There’s still a swing on the old oak tree
A minorAm             G+G    C majorC
Where we used to play, my brother and me
C majorC             Fmaj7Fmaj7  A minorAm
And sometimes I feel like going home
A minorAm            G+G  C majorC
But home is a childhood memory
C majorC             Fmaj7Fmaj7    A minorAm
Well I cried a tear when I heard the news
A minorAm              G+G  C majorC
Really nothing that I could say or do
C majorC            Fmaj7Fmaj7   A minorAm
It’s the hardest lesson I ever learned
A minorAm            G+G  C majorC
Light a candle just to watch it burn

CHORUS:
A minorAm *            G+G *      C majorC
So you get caught up in a raging winter storm
     A minorAm *           G+G *     Fmaj7Fmaj7
All the lights are off and the curtains are drawn
     A minorAm *          G+G *       C majorC
You can live like a king but you die like a newborn

C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7 A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC (2x)

VERSE 3:
C majorC                 Fmaj7Fmaj7  A minorAm
Well I rolled a take me from place to place
A minorAm             G+G  C majorC
Gonna let this hair grow from my face
C majorC           Fmaj7Fmaj7   A minorAm
And where I’m bound I cannot tell
A minorAm                 G+G   C majorC
If you believe the bible then I’m bound for hell
C majorC             Fmaj7Fmaj7 A minorAm
Well I got a lover now she got me
A minorAm            G+G  C majorC
She knows a place inside my dreams
C majorC              Fmaj7Fmaj7  A minorAm
If I sell this ring it’ll make me sad
A minorAm            G+G  C majorC
I’ll buy me a brand new sleeping bag
C majorC          C/DC/D     A minorAm
There’s a map of the stars on her chest
       Fmaj7Fmaj7    G+G        C majorC
There’s a universe sitting behind her eyes
     C majorC     C/DC/D     A minorAm
But I’ll meet you at 6 after some rest
      Fmaj7Fmaj7       G+G        C majorC
We’ll get paid, we’ll get drunk and we’ll get by


Start Strumming Here:

CHORUS:
A minorAm     G+G       C majorC
Chase the sunset until the morning
    A minorAm       G+G       Fmaj7Fmaj7
We’ll sleep through a thousand world wars
     A minorAm           G+G        C majorC
And I’ll smile like a widow but cry like a newborn

C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7 A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC (2x)
