[Verse]
D         Em                   Bm
My airbag light's been on for weeks

    G                D
And I keep having dreams

        Em               Bm                    G
Where I go through the windshield but I don't fix it.

D      Em                    Bm
Patsy Cline came and sang to me.

          G          D
She told everybody

         Em             Bm                   G
That she knew she would die soon before she did.

Bm         D              G
I hear you cry on "Faded Love".

Bm          D             G
The air in August here's heavy with salt and smoke and stings my lungs.
Bm D G B A Bm D Bm E F# G A
D           Em                  Bm
My airbag light's been on for weeks

    G              D
And I can feel it mock me.

      Em                Bm                       G
It's bittersweet, like laughter through crooked teeth.

D         Em              Bm
I wanna move so far from everything

      G               D
That they can hear my heart beat

         Em              Bm                 G
And then break as I lay dying in the street.

Bm                D                   G
They'll think the ice cracked at the lake.

Bm               D                   G
They'll think a tire blew out and a car crashed on the interstate.
[Chorus]
D            A               G
It's hard to watch you walk away.

D                  A                Bm             G
These aren't the vultures that were circling just yesterday.

D             A             G
It's hard to watch you walk away.

D                    A                            G      Em F# G
They're picking at bones, at what's left of your misery.
[Bridge] Bm D Bm G Bm D Bm Em F# G A
Bm        D      Bm   Em F# G A
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Bm        D      Bm   G
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Em          F#   A   G
So when my vocal chords rip,

Em          F#       G
So when my knees give in,

Em        D  A  G
So when I bury all of this,

Em           F#
Who's gonna give a shit

G
If I'm breathing?
[Chorus]
D            A               G
It's hard to watch you walk away.

D                  A                Bm             G
These aren't the vultures that were circling just yesterday.

D             A             G
It's hard to watch you walk away.

D                    A                            G      Em F# G
They're picking at bones, at what's left of your misery.
[Outro]
Bm        D     
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

G          Em     F#   G   A
My airbag light's been on for weeks.

Bm        D
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

G          Em     F#   G   A
My airbag light's been on for weeks.
