Verse 1:
Em
Spent another season in the valley of the bones

Higher ground was callin’, callin’ me back home

A hundred and nine answers to a hundred and ten proofs
D

Back up to my bed o’nails and my leakin’ roof.

Chorus:
G                 Em
 Hold me sober and hold me still
D                 Em
 Hold my past up against my will
G                    Em
 Nothing’s wrong when my head is gone
D            C               Em
Nothing is a stranger to me now.

Verse 2:
Em
All that good behaviour, well I knew it wouldn’t last
       C
At the funeral of fossils I buried up the past
    Em
But just like I predicted well the past came jumping up
D
Jumped up like a devil who had finally seen enough.

 Hold me sober and hold me still
D                 Em
 Hold my past up against my will

Nothing is a stranger to me now.

Break:
D     Em                                     C
Saw a lighthouse in the wheat fields where I drove off the road
       Em                               C
When I got there, there was nothing but darkness in a hole
           D            Em
And down inside I saw my favourite place
D                            C            Em
Furniture all busted and the arson on her face.

Chorus:
G                 Em
 Hold me sober and hold me still
D                 Em
 Hold my past up against my will
G                       Em
 Nothing’s wrong when my head is gone
