Chords

As recorded by Kasey Chambers (From the 2024 Album BACKBONE) [Verse 1]
N.C.                                 C
Is a southbound train gonna take you north

                               D         G
Would you wait for the cart to drag that horse

                                      C
Does it only take Jesus to believe in God

                              D        G
While we wait for the tail to wag that dog
[Chorus]
          Em   D/F# G
Life is a well run  dry

           C    D  G
Waiting to live or die

             Em   D/F#    G        C
Watching the best and the worst go by

C
But how's it ever gonna fill you up

                               Em D   G
Now that we're drinking from a broken cup
[Verse 2]
   G                               C
Is all of the money gonna make you rich

                            D         G
When a hobo's sleeping in a cold dark ditch

                                  C
Is every little flame just lit by moths

                                       G
Will we burn all the bridges before we cross
[Chorus]
          Em   D/F# G
Life is a long hard road

              C    D  G
Ain't for the fast or slow

             Em  D/F#  G        C
One day it's all gonna come and go

C
How's it ever gonna fill you up

                               Em D   G
Now that we're drinking from a broken cup
[Interlude] Em D C [Verse 3]
   G                                     C
We used up all the rope just to tie that knot

                               D         G
And we spend all the pennies before they drop

                                        C
The belly of the beast is a hard one to crack

                              D         G
As the crow flies east but he won't fly back
[Chorus]
          Em   D/F# G
Life is a mean old  man

          C    D   G
Shaking a worn out hand

         Em    D/F#      G             C
Out in a storm trying to hold back the dam

C
But how's it ever gonna fill you up

                               Em     C
Now that we're drinking from a broken cup

C
And how's it ever gonna make me feel

                              Em D   G
Now that we're driving with a broken wheel
[Outro] Em D C
