[Intro]
C Em F
C Em F
[Verse]
C F C Washing dishes at a no name diner F C Worked his way up to line cook on the weekdays Am G F But his daydream's burning his dish towel he turned in C F C Another dead-end job on a poet's resume
[Verse]
C F C So he followed a lover out west F C Where the sun sets on Pacific Palisades Am G When she slept with an old boyfriend F It tore him up to no end C F C Put all that pain on a poet's resume
[Chorus]
F Em When you work in heartache you still earn those callouses Dm7 C Words on a napkin in dead languages F Em Everybody loves him but no one ever stays Dm7 Another whiskey to unwind C/E Another less than perfect rhyme F G C Another wasted line on a poet's resume
C Em F
[Verse]
C F C Fine line between being free and being lonely F C It's blood from a stone and stoned on Percocet Am G He don't believe in God but he's praying F He'll find something worth saying C F C In a new way no one's ever heard it said
[Chorus]
F Em When you work in heartache you still earn those callouses Dm7 C Words on a napkin in dead languages F Em Everybody loves him but no one ever stays Dm7 Another whiskey to unwind C/E Another less than perfect rhyme F G C Another wasted line on a poet's resume
[Break]
G Dm7 And he knows it's in his blood C G His blood is on the page and the page will always turn G Dm7 That's how it goes when you're young C G When the only thing you're scared of is running out of words
[Instrumental}
F Em7 Dm7 C F G
[Chorus]
F Em When you work in heartache you still earn those callouses Dm7 C Words on a napkin in dead languages F Em Everybody loves you but no one ever stays Dm7 Another whiskey to unwind C/E Another less than perfect rhyme F G Maybe this will be the li-i-i-ine C Em F On a poet's resume
[Outro]
