[Intro] D C F G x2 [Verse 1]
D              C
You can go to hell, my dear

F                     G
You'd probly like it better there

     D                   C
with all them boys who thought they could make it

 F                     G
Deadman's curve gonna lay them down

D                   C
All the things you put me through

F               G
Safe to say I'm tired of you

 D                      C
Had our times, yeah we had a few

      F                         G
but where we gonna be when the pills run out

F
Where we gonna go when the dam breaks loose

         G
and the white line fever gets a hold of you

F
How we gonna make it to higher ground

    G
if you won't get up and leave
[Banjo Lick] D C F G x2 [Verse 2]
D               C
I reckon if I chose to stay

F                   G
it be better for a few more days

D                  C
but in the end it always rains

     F                     G
and honey you can cause a storm

D                 C
But I'm tired and soaking wet

F                            G
and hunkered over tryin' to catch my breath

D                  C
Broke my back and did my best

    F                     G
to hold you through the shakes

         F
But it's hard to keep floatin' on a foundered dream

       G
You're takin' in water at crazy speed

F
How can I get to the shore on time

   G
if you won't keep afloat
[Mandolin/Fiddle Solo] D C F G x4 [Verse 3]
D                   C
My heart was never much on games

F              G
let alone the ones you play

     D                     C
I've only got one and it's already broken

   F                        G
so why you wanna throw it around

D                 C
I wish I had the strength to go

F                    G
but it's a long and hateful road

      D                C
and I just now got to feelin' at home

       F                G
in the frost you put on me

F
Where we gonna go when the dam breaks loose

        G
and the white line fever gets a hold of you

 F
How we gonna make it to higher ground

    G
if you won't get up and leave

         F
And it's hard to keep floatin' on a foundered dream

       G
You're takin' in water at crazy speed

F
How can I get to the shore on time

   G
if you won't keep afloat
[Fiddle Solo] D C F G x4 [Verse 4]
