As recorded by Waxahatchee (From the 2024 Album TIGERS BLOOD) [Intro] G D C G D [Verse 1]
C          G           D                              C
 You come alive in the heat, you ain't crossing state lines

         G            D                            C
Stood up like a crepe myrtle, can't be killed or denied

        G                    D                          Am
Throw a brick through the window, leave your mess at my door

           G         D                     Am
Lord knows sooner or later it'd wash up to shore

           G         D                     C  G  D    C  G  D
Lord knows sooner or later it'd wash up to shore
[Verse 2]
C       G            D                                  C
 You're laughing and smiling, drove my Jeep through the mud

         G              D                              C
And your teeth and your tongue bright red from tiger's blood

        G            D                    C
We were young for so long, seersuckers of time

          G          D                    Am7
Drank someone else's juice, left only the rind

          G          D                       C
Drank someone else's juice and left only the rind
[Chorus]
      G            D         C
And I held it like a penny I found

   G              D                            Am
It might bring me something, it might weigh me down

        G       D                      Am
You got every excuse but it's an eerie sound

         G          D                         C    G  D   C  G  D
Oh, when that siren blows, rings out all over town
[Verse 3]
C      G         D                    C
 Named after a city you ain't never seen

        G          D                        C
Spellbinding copperheads banging a tambourine

             G              D                     Am
And it's the kiss of death, but it's the only way out

         G         D                               Am
Galloped up to the mirror, looked her right in the mouth

         G         D                               C     G  D   C  G  D
Galloped up to the mirror, looked her right in the mouth
[Verse 4]
C    G                 D                C
 I'd skated the surface, I'd left you alone

       G           D                        C
By now truer words spoken like blood from a stone

       G             D                           Am
And it fills me with dread but I've learned to ignore

             G                D                            Am
The smell of dust that creeps up through the cracks in the floor

             G              D                            C
The smell of dust it creeps up through the cracks in the floor
[Chorus]
      G            D         C
And I held it like a penny I found

   G              D                            Am7
It might bring me something, it might weigh me down

        G       D                      Am7
You got every excuse but it's an eerie sound

         G          D                         C
Oh, when that siren blows, rings out all over town

     G          D                         C    G  D
When that siren blows, rings out all over town
[Outro] C G D Am7 G D Am7 G D C G D C G D
