[Intro]
D
[Verse]
D G D Here we sit, across the table from each other G D A thousand miles from both our mothers E7 A Barely old enough to rust. D G D Here we sit, pretending both our hearts are anchored G D Taking candy from these strangers A D Amidst the diesel and the dust. D G D Here we sit, singing words nobody taught us. G D Drinking fire and spitting sawdust E7 A Trying to teach ourselves to breathe. D G D We haven't yet, but every chorus brings us closer G D Every flyer and every poster A D Gives a piece of what we need.
[Chorus 1]
G D And the sand that they call cocaine cost you twice as much as gold G A You'd be better of to drink your coffee black D D/C# D/B D/A G D But I swear the land it listened to the stories that we told D A G D God bless the busted boat boat that brings us back
[Verse]
D G D Mornings rough, it don't give a damn about the mission G D Has no aesthetic or tradition, E7 A Only lessons never learned. D G D And I'd had enough, about a month ago tomorrow. G D Parting holds no trace of sorrow A D For the bitter and the burned.
[Chorus 2]
G D And the piss they call tequila even Waylon wouldn't drink G A Well I'd rather sip this Listerine I packed D D/C# D/B D/A G D But i swear I've never seen a better place to sit and think D A G D God bless the busted ship that brings us back
(violin and picking solo)
[Chorus 1]
G D And the sand that they call cocaine cost you twice as much as gold G A You'd be better of to drink your coffee black D D/C# D/B D/A G D But I swear the land it listened to the stories that we told D A G D God bless the busted boat boat that brings us back D A G D God bless the busted boat that brings us back
*D D/C# D/B D/A G refers to a walk-down using the bass strings while still in a D form.
