G
Portable television, shrouded in snow

     Am                 C/G
In a raggedy van on the side of the road

    G
The night it had frozen through my little bones

       Am                        C/G
So you took me in your arms, you squeezed out the cold

Chorus 1 chords:
G                       Am          C/G
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h

G                       Am          C/G         G
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h

Verse 2: use verse 1 chords Upstate New York, autumn, brightly colored leaves Oh, the hills were on fire, they burn for you and me And where we were going it was built like a lie But as sacred as the Bible, so we didn't question why

Chorus 2: use chorus 1 chords
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h

Bridge:

  C/G                 G
I saw it in the soil just recently

          Am                                   G
Where the rows of teeth they grow in fields of infinite greed

    C/G                       G
And here laid the father, and here stood the son

          Am                         G             C/G
Where the road meets the horizon for everyone, for everyone

Verse 3: use verse 1 chords Portable television, take us away From this burden of reflection we've carried today Oh, the generator's running but there's nothing on the air And the static is a comfort, so we huddle around and stare

Chorus 3: use chorus 1 chords
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h
