As recorded by Jason Isbell (From the 2007 Album SIRENS OF THE DITCH) [Intro] G D G D A D [Verse 1]
     G     D
In a razor town

                                   A     D
You take whoever you think you can keep around

           G          D
There's an echoed sound

                                  A            D
That permeates the sidewalk where she shuffles round

       G     D
It's a big machine

                            A        D
It used to be the avenue of changing dreams

            G      D
And she's a lonely thing

                                  A         D
Sweeping up the glitter while she pulls the strings
[Bridge]
       Bm7  A    D
Take a long last look

           Bm    A  D
Before she turns to stone

         Bm   A   D
What the last man took

             G          A
And what was long, long gone
[Verse 2]
        G          D
The way it used to be

                                 A     D
I wasn't there to see it working properly

       G        D
Now it seems to me

                         A D
Both of you are suffering

               G         D
You know, I've heard her say

                                   A      D
That you're the only reason she's alive today

       G      D
I just turned away

                            A D
Thinking maybe she was right
[Bridge]
            Bm   D
So say your last goodbye

        Bm    A   D
Make it short and sweet

               Bm      A      D
There ain't no way for you to fly

         G               A
With her hanging on your feet
[Guitar Solo] G D A D G D A D G [Verse 3]
                      D        G
Let her go out if she wants to

                     D        G
If she don't, go out yourself

                        Bm     G
Don't take sorry for an answer

                       A
Unless you really want what's left
[Outro]
            G     D
'Cause in a razor town

                                     A         D
The only thing that matters tends to bring you down

           G    D
There's no way around

                                A D
But maybe you can barrel through

         G              A    D
'Cause a razor ain't no good for you
