As recorded by the Drive-By Truckers (From the 2022 Album WELCOME 2 CLUB XIII) [Intro] C G Am C G Am [Verse 1]
          C       G   Am
So you've gone astray in a New York minute

        C         G Am
Nothing left to say or ways to spin it

            C          G    Am
You've just gone too far, unsafe within it

         C       G       Am
All spun out and swept away
[Verse 2]
         C        G    Am
You were here one day, gone by sunset

        C           G  Am
You set out that way,  lest, we soon forget

C            G        Am                     C      G      Am
Blood on the sawdust, light coming in from a broken window pane
[Chorus]
  Em        D
I shake and pine

    C             G             Am         G
You didn't really mean to do me wrong this time

        C        G           Em       D
Make it up as we go along to fake and find

  C            G          Em          D       C
A reason and a rhyme, the strength to carry on
[Interlude] C G Am C G Am [Verse 3]
          C        G    Am
Seems the more you know the less you like it

        C         G       Am
Til you ache to go and strikе out on your own

C          G           Am
Movement becomеs you until you become

     C            G         Am
So removed by the hands you show
[Verse 4]
          C      G
Seems the more I know

    Am                               C           G
The less I have the answers to these things I sow

            Am                         C          G
That eat me like a cancer till there's nothing left

    Am                         C      G         Am
For you to grab ahold of til I spiral out of control
[Chorus]
    Em        D
You shake and pine

      C               G              Am         G
For a way out of this hell besides a life of crime

C               G                 Em    D
Standing before judgment, it'd be so sublime

   C                G          Em     D            C
To step out of your shadow and walk towards the sun
[Bridge]
C            G
We shake and pine

       Em          D              C       G
Look inside for an answer to this nursery rhyme

       Em     D          C           G    C           G
Like a ballet dancer, we leap in the air, lost in the footlights

C           G                  Em  D
Lost in the footlights and the fog

C           G                  Em  D C
Lost in the footlights and the fog
[Interlude] C G Em D C G Em D C G C G Em D C C G Am C G Am Em [Outro]
C       G     D        Em          C        G
Got the hang, all your missing, Alabama claw

 D                  Em            C       G
Above the bangs and lashes and we saw it all

D                Em             D            C
Reaching for the stars but only catching dust
