Chords

[Verse 1]
        F
I'm the tall glass of water you lost in your kitchen

    C
I'm casually cruel like a senior prediction

     Am7                                         Fmaj7
Most likely to leave at the sign of a fork in the road

           F
You looked just like your father as the news was delivered

      C
Cut a hole in my heart that bled into my liver

      Am7                                   Fmaj7
I miss being alone when it didn't mean being alone
[Verse 2]
       F
And if love was contagious, I might be immune to it

C
Pain's like cold water, your brain just gets used to it

  Am7                                                 Fmaj7
I try to keep swimming and keep Dad's good word in my mouth

             F
Now they're fighting like dogs in thе town across the river

        C
Over a brand new crosswalk that won't matter come winter

        Am7*                                          F
And sometimes folks just need something to be angry about

                 Fmaj7
What you angry about?
[Chorus]
         C*
I ain't bitter 'bout much these days

                       Fmaj7*          C*
In some ways, I'm damn lucky to be here

           F*                   C*
Where the miners stayed in the good old days

          Fmaj7*                 C*
Yes, real men used to sleep here

          Am7*                      G*
By those roadside graves where my friends still lay in

       Fmaj7*               C*
I walk by just to weep here

        Am7*                 G*
They say killing time ain't a homicide

      Fmaj7*
But a prayer for a leap year
[Verse 3]
         F
I'm the roach in your drawer, I lived here long before you

         C                      C**
I'm the rumble of war, it gets hard to ignore you

       Am7
Well, love, sometimes folks just need something they can scream at

Fmaj7
Scream at

         F*
I'm the hills in the distance, you see me, can't be me

     C
You need me in half, Lord, I need you completely

   Am7                                                     Fmaj7
Oh, sometimes folks just need something they can scream at
[Chorus]
         C
I ain't bitter 'bout much these days

                       Fmaj7           C
In some ways, I'm damn lucky to be here

           F                    C
Where the miners stayed in the good old days

          Fmaj7                 C
Yes, real men used to sleep here

          Am7                       G
By those roadside graves where my friends still lay in

       Fmaj7                C
I walk by just to weep here

        Am7                  G
They say killing time ain't a homicide

       Fmaj7
But a prayer for a leap year

        Am7                  G
They say killing time ain't a homicide

       Fmaj7
But a prayer for a leap year
[Outro]
        C                      F
I'm on running ground, I'm in Bordertown

       Am7                 Fmaj7
I'm a college kid with my windows down

        Fmaj7                 G
I'm an astronaut, you're the moon

           Am7            Fmaj7
I stare at you, I sing to you

        C                      F
I'm on running ground, I'm in Bordertown

       Am7                 G
I'm a college kid with my windows down

        Fmaj7                 G
I'm an astronaut, you're the moon

          Am7              Fmaj7
I sing to you, I scream to you

              Am7                Fmaj7*
I'll stare at you, I'll sting at you
