[Verse]

C
 Prayin' on the north wind

F                C
  Lead me to my door

C
  Thumbing through my green backs

G
  Swearin' I made more

C
 Some cruel nightly cycle

          Am
 Leaves me cryin' on a motel floor

C                   G
   I don't cry for you

    C
Anymore

[Verse 2]

C
  Many a dark hour

F                  C
  I look up to the sky

C
  Many unkind thoughts are laid

G
  On my hazy eyes

C
  Sometimes I get to thinkin'

Am
  Why wait around to die

C                 G
 I don't think of you

          C
 So I get by

[Chorus]

F                D7/F#
  Every day it seems

C                              F
  My whole damn life's just a codeine dream

C                   G
  I don't dream of you

  C
Anymore

[Instrumental] (same as intro) C C/G C C/G F [Verse 3]

C
 The sun is gone away now

F                      C
 Green grass turns to brown

C
 Every December it gets a little bit harder

G
 To lay that bottle down

C
 It's more than just the weather

     Am
 That plagues this prairie town

C                   G
 I won't be seeing you

             C
When I come 'round

[Chorus]

F              D7/F#
  Every day it seems

C                                F
  My whole damn life's just a codeine dream

C                   G
  I don't dream of you

C
  Anymore
