Intro:

G    Em D C


Verse 1:
G                                                C
 We've come a long way since those drunk days on backroads
                                      Em
You and your high hopes always stayed down
                   D                     C
You always saw the best in me, high in Yosemite, we hide
G                                              C
 Now I'm driving through Reno, those goddamn casinos
C

You always kept God close
                 Em                            D                            C
Except that time you bet it all on black, came back to the room with twenty grand


Verse 2:
G                                    C
 We spent it all on gasoline, PCH to Cannon Beach
                                  Em
Laid in the sand and, man, I have never seen
               D                           C
Something more beautiful than you and your cannonball


Chorus:
         Em                             D
You were smiling like a thief with your cheek-tearing teeth
        G                        C
You was praying to Jesus, we was running from the police
     Em                   D
They sold off the town we used to call home
         G                     C
And your cannonball sits on Cannon Beach alone
            Em                D
And they're using my muses to make fun of me
         G                           C
And your face up as your blood sucks from an IV


[Interlude]
G  C  Em D C


Verse 3:
G                                                    C
 We've come a long way since that shit banned at the Blue List
                              Em                   D                 C
You said anything other than another fucking cover of "Only The Good Die Young"
G
But I never thought it'd be you
                     C
I always thought I'd beat you to the Golden Gates
                     Em                 D                           C
Won't you wait a few hours there by the door? We've all been here before


Chorus:
         Em                             D
You were smiling like a thief with your cheek-tearing teeth
        G                        C
You was praying to Jesus, we was running from the police
            Em                     D
And they're using my muses to make fun of me
         G                           C
And your face up as your blood sucks from an IV


Verse 4:
G
But you stood up on your own, your mom called my telephone
G
Said you've been standing and rambling about gambling
    Em                       D         C
And howling out in the night high in Yosemite


Bridge:
   Em                               D
So call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride?
          G
There are cannonballs falling in the heat of July
Em                               D
Call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride?
        G
There's cannonballs falling in the heat of July
Em                               D
Call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride?
          G
There are cannonballs falling in the heat of July
Em                               D
Call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride?
          G
There are cannonballs falling in the heat of July
Em                               D
Call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride?
          G
There are cannonballs falling in the heat of July


[Out-Chorus]
         Em                             D
You were smiling like a thief with your cheek-tearing teeth
        G
You was praying to Jesus, we was running from the police
     Em                        D
They sold off the town that we used to call home
         G                  C
And your cannonball sits on Cannon Beach alone
