Chords

[Intro] F Gm (x2) [Verse 1]
          F
There's a river down in Nashville

          Bb
Where the alcohol's so clean

       Gm
It can wash away the sins

   Bb
Of anyone but me

       F
And if you're not at the table

            Bb
Then you're probably the meal

          Gm
Name goes higher on the menu

        Bb
As your drinks begin to spill

             F
And it's too humid in the morning

       Bb
Her mascara starts to fade

         Gm
Into the silk of all her pillows

          Bb
Where the codine's set to lay

              F
And when they wash away the garbage

           Bb
Where that horror will remain

         Gm                        Bb
And that red and orange special is burning
On that midnight train F Gm (x2) [Verse 2]
       F
And if you try hard enough

      Bb
Maybe you just might believe

             Gm
Still know exactly who you are

          Bb
Unitl you panic and can't breathe

                F
But you're just sweating in the mirror

            Bb
You're just melting in the sink

           Gm
Like cheap trick birthday candles

         Bb
Slow red flames burning into pink
F Gm (x2) [Verse 3]
      F
It is raining on the harbor

      Bb
It is raining on the sea

     Gm
I am rushing through the alleyway

Bb
I am almost free

         F
You are toxic and so selfish

         Bb
Like you are some sort of saint

         Gm
Walking 'round the house and cussin'

         Bb
Counting all the things you hate

      F
Put a bullet in the TV

             Bb
While you're screaming at the clouds

        Gm
Passing by us moving overhead

             Bb
When there's no one else around

            F
I drink the poison when it's liquid

            Bb
I drink the poison in your glass

            Gm
Your kisses burn my tongue of feeling

      Bb
Onion peels and fiberglass

      F
It is raining on the cemetary

      Bb
It is falling from the tree

          Gm
There's detectives in the shadows

       Bb
Taking notes on what I see

          F
There's a broken moon ascending

       Bb
Like a sword upon the scene

              Gm
When there is no one there to give a fuck

        Bb
And the midnight special is burning into pink
F Gm (x4) [Bridge]
                F
Static hits the wall
Drinking flights
          Bb
When it's nice
When it's sunny
         Gm
Smoke is billowing out of the cackling mouths

        Bb
Telling jokes that are barely funny

       F
People laughing anyway

               Bb
Stuck in their jobs like bees and honey

        Gm
I don't need your love to stay alive

             Bb
I'll take my pride, and you can keep the money
F Gm (x2) [Verse 4]
         F
It's too humid in the evening

        Bb
As your looks begin to fade

        Gm
All the money in the world

       Bb
Cannot take back what you said

              F
And when they wash away the garbage

           Bb
Only your memories will remain

         Gm
And that red and orange special

   Bb                           F
Is burning on that midnight train
