[Intro] G Em D C G [Verse 1]
G                                      C                     D/F#        G
The train cannot convince you that the wildfire smoke is the northern lights

G                                   C            D/F#
But lately I've been looking at you harder, just taking you in

G                                   C                        D/F#    G
The colors on your fingers from the handbreak grips on your junkyard bike

G                          C          D/F#
Your boots all filled with water, all soaking wet
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                            C
But you could punch me in the gut

                         G                 Am             C
And it wouldn't hurt like watching, you go smaller on the backroad

Am                  C
And I never ask for much,

                      G                 Am       C
But I hope that Logan crumbles and gets hit by a tornado
[Chorus]
C  N.C.
Oh I

Em N.C.
Can't keep

G    N.C.     D/F#
On starting over

C   N.C.      Em  N.C.   G
Sleeping in a bed half empty

 N.C.      D/F#
Daydreaming

C
Our love

Em
Must leave

G       D/F#
Oh, but search for it,

C
I will

       Em
Honey, tell me

G       D/F#            C      Em   G
Are you good at staying still

G                       D/F#                                    C
Are you good at staying still or will, will you up and leave or will you be there in the morning
[Instrumental] G Em D/F# C G [Verse 2]
G                Em           C    G
Always hated the sunlight, at 3 pm

G                          Em            C              G
When it's too late to quit thinking, too late to change anything

G                        Em                 C           G
Racking my brain for the one line that will change your mind

G                             Em                   C            Am
Until when your plane crashes on mine, it couldn't hurt to try
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                       C
But the shadows make the sun

                           G
And the Harvard track team runs,

        Am              C
Past my truck, stuck on sorrow

Am                  C                           G                 Am       C
And I never ask for much, but I hope that Logan crumbles and gets hit by a tornado
[Chorus]
C  N.C.
Oh I

Em N.C.
Can't keep

G    N.C.     D/F#
On starting over

C   N.C.      Em  N.C.   G
Sleeping in a bed half empty

 N.C.      D/F#
Daydreaming

C
Our love

Em
Must leave

G        D/F#           C
Oh, but search for it I will

    Em            G
Oh honey, tell me

        D/F#            C     Em  G
Are you good at staying still

        D/F#            C      Em  G D/F#
Are you good at staying still
[Bridge]
C            Em           G            D/F#           C
Put her off, put her now as I couldn't save the moment

C          Em          G
As it was, how you were

         D/F#
What was there before me

C          Em         G       D/F#      C
Nevermind, never mind, I'll forget about it

           Em           G           D/F#         C
I'll be good, I'll be fine, I can laugh about it
[Chorus]
C N.C.
I try

Em  N.C.
To keep

G  n.c            C                Em           G       D/F#
On starting over (oh sleeping in a bed half empty, day dreaming)

C
Our love

Em
Must leave

G       D/F#            C
Oh, but search for it I will

C      Em      G       D/F#            C      Em  G
Honey, tell me are you good at staying still

G       D/F#            C      Em  G
Are you good at staying still

G       Em               D/F# n.c
Are you good at staying still or will, will you up and leave,

    C
Or will you be there in the morning
