                         Bm
God, take me back to the orange grove

                         G
That I found deep in the desert

                   Bm
The air sweet as a miracle

                        G                   F#m
It can't survive but it grows and grows and grows

              Bm
West Texas is dying slow

                  G
An oil rig in the sunset

                     Bm
The air is heavy and filled with smoke

                           G                     F#m  A
There ain't no quit in the hands that built this home

                   G        A
A dog barks in the distance

                               G
Rusted frames take root in the brush
[Chorus]
                D
You'll watch it decay

                 Dmaj7                Em          G     Gmaj7
Lie through your teeth and say you'll resurrect a ghost

                     D                  Dmaj7     Bm A
The paper tigers you made then swore to keep away

         Em                G      Gmaj7
You're a knife there at my throat

                                     Bm G
God, take me back to the orange grove
[Verse 2]
                    Bm
Fall came quiet and sudden

                             G
They're smoking out of their storm doors

                        Bm
Work left town with the summer

                     G          F#m
We're just trying to keep warm

                           Bm
That cough don't sound any better

                         G
Another month, trying to push through

                          Bm
Blood in your spit in the morning

            G                  F#m     A
Give a fake name at the emergency room

                            G          A
There at the edge of losing everything

                               G
Taking desperate swings in the dark
[Chorus]
                D
You'll watch it decay

                 Dmaj7                Em          G     Gmaj7
Lie through your teeth and say you'll resurrect a ghost

                     D                  Dmaj7     Bm A
The paper tigers you made then swore to keep away

         Em                G      Gmaj7
You're a knife there at my throat
[Bridge]
Em                        D
When your mom got sick so slow

                          G
Did you carry the weight alone?

Em                        D
When the bills started to grow

                          G
Did you carry the weight alone?

Em                          D
When the bank came for your home

                          G
Did you carry the weight alone?

Em                      D
When you reap what they sow

                         G     Gmaj7
Do you carry the weight alone?
[Chorus]
                D
You'll watch it decay

                 F#min        Bm A        Em          G     Gmaj7
Lie through your teeth and say     you'll resurrect a ghost

                     D                  Dmaj7     Bm A
The paper tigers you made then swore to keep away

         Em                G      Gmaj7
You're a knife there at my throat

                                     D G D G
God, take me back to the orange grove
