Tyler Childers – Peace Of Mind (Guitar Live)

E
He drinks orange juice and vodka in the basement while she’s talkin’

E                                                   Bm7
To someone, long distance, for hours and hours on end

Bm7
And as he slowly sipping he thinks about his children

Bm7                                            E
And the heart attacks that youngest daughters always giving him

E
He ain’t smoke no marijuana since he got on with the railroad

E                                         A
And he’s been on with the railroad for a long and loathsome while

A                                    E
But the day that he retires he will smoke himself to China

         Bm7                                    A            E
He will leave behind his worries as he’s racing through the sky

E
She sells Avon to her buddies and saves a little money

E                                                   Bm7
On the makeup she’s been using to hide away the years

Bm7
And she sits and watches TV usually every evening

Bm7                                       E
If there aint some kind of ball game her daughter has to cheer

E
She sneaks menthols in the morning while her family’s still a-snoring

E                                      A
And as she burns the Eggos she looks back at her life

A                                         E
That heart she broke in high school he’s singin’ on the Opry

     Bm7                                         A       E
She wonders what the hell that she was thinking at the time

                 A               E
Oh the days are dark down in the holler

        Bm7              E
Waitin’ for the sun to shine

        A                 E
On the back you’ve been breakin'

          Bm7            E
Trying to earn peace of mind

E
Their youngest daughter Stella she’s been running with this fella

E                                                          Bm7
That he can not stand the thought of that he surely does despise

Bm7
He’s told her he’d best never see the two of them together

Bm7                                               E
But its hard to keep an eye on her when you’re working all the time

E
There are things he needs to tend to and the bills the bank keeps sendin’

E                                       A
Lord the zeros on the end keep pushing further to the right

A                                       E
Like a freight train haulin’ sorrow and moving ever onward

             Bm7                                 A      E
Through the tunnel of forever towards the never ending light

                 A               E
Oh the days are dark down in the holler

        Bm7              E
Waitin’ for the sun to shine

        A                 E
On the back you’ve been breakin'

          Bm7            E
Trying to earn peace of mind

          Bm7            E
Trying to earn peace of mind
