As recorded by Zach Bryan (From the 2026 Album WITH HEAVEN ON TOP) [Verse 1]
      C                                 Em                                G                       D
Well, all them girls were talking 'bout all their boys walking with their big chests and prideful mouths

      C                        Em                      G                        D
Had a friend in Cincinnati who died with a six-shooter taped to the roof of his mouth

           C                         Em               G                 D
'Cause his girl was making love to a man who'll never give her what she needs

       C                          Em                      G                     D
Like a shark in the middle of the big Pacific, she'll eat anything that fucking bleeds
[Chorus]
             C                   G
When it gets cold, your love, it comes and goes

D                            Em
Grows with the vines and the trees

             C               G
Hate that it grows inside my lungs

        D                    Em
Freezes up on the rivers and creeks

             C                 G
When it gets high, you're not around

      D                       Em
Go to town to get a different look

                C                          G
Deep within the shaking, earthquake in California summer

      D                   Em
Oh, I pray you'll never find another
[Interlude] C G D Em [Verse 2]
        C                           Em                    G                    D
Well, I flew across the ocean, just humbly hoping I would make it to the other side

            C                            Em                        G                   D
'Cause them boots of Spanish leather are only worn better when the summon went down to high

             C                 Em                      G                          D
When there's nowhere to go and nowhere to call home, I hope you swim on back some day

       C                                  Em                 G             D
As the sharks eat all the hearts that are fallin' in love in San Francisco Bay
[Chorus]
             C                   G
When it gets cold, your love, it comes and goes

D                            Em
Grows with the vines and the trees

             C               G
Hate that it grows inside my lungs

        D                    Em
Freezes up on the rivers and creeks

             C                 G
When it gets high, you're not around

      D                       Em
Go to town to get a different look

                C                          G
Deep within the shaking, earthquake in California summer

      D                   Em       C
Oh, I pray you'll never find another

Well, love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek

D                                 G
Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth
