Codeine by Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit (Standard Tuning)
VERSE
C G Am7 Fadd9 If there's one thing I can't stand C G Am7 Fadd9 it's this bar and this cover band C G Am7 Fadd9 trying to fake their way through 'Castles Made of Sand.' C G Am7 Fadd9 That's one thing I can't stand. C G Am7 Fadd9 If there's one thing I can't take C G Am7 Fadd9 it's the sound that a woman makes C G Am7 Fadd9 about five seconds after her heart begins to break. C G Am7 Fadd9 That's one thing I can't take.
BRIDGE
Em Fadd9 She should be home by now but she ain't. Em Fadd9 I should've gone by now but I cain't.
CHORUS
C G Am7 Fadd9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine. C G Am7 Fadd9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine.
VERSE
C G Am7 Fadd9 Them eyes was big as stars C G Am7 Fadd9 when I saw you behind the bar. C G Am7 Fadd9 I guess that's the way to keep on smilin' where you are. C G Am7 Fadd9 But girl them eyes was big as stars. C G Am7 Fadd9 It sounds funny when you say my name. C G Am7 Fadd9 It's like you're chewing on a foreign thing C G Am7 Fadd9 and you won't get to sleep 'till dawn if it don't rain. C G Am7 Fadd9 It sounds so funny when you say my name.
BRIDGE
Em Fadd9 You oughta come home tonight but you won't. Em Fadd9 I wish we knew how to fight but we don't.
CHORUS 2
C G Am7 Fadd9 One of your friends has taken you in and given you Codeine. C G Am7 Fadd9 One of your friends has taken you in and given you Codeine.
VERSE
C G Am7 Fadd9 Darlin' I'm not one to judge C G Am7 Fadd9 but if I was then I'd say you don't look so good. C G Am7 Fadd9 Got no answers of my own C G Am7 Fadd9 but with you gone, this place looks bigger than it should. C G Am7 Fadd9 If there's two things that I hate C G Am7 Fadd9 it's having to cook and trying to date. C G Am7 Fadd9 Busting ass all day to play 'hurry up and wait.' C G Am7 Fadd9 That's a few things that I hate.
BRIDGE
Em Fadd9 If I call when I ain't drunk Em Fadd9 This old boat'll still be sunk
CHORUS 3
C G Am7 Fadd9 'cause one of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine. C G Am7 Fadd9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine. C G Am7 Fadd9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine. C G Am7 Fadd9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine.
