Verse 1:
Em              C                Em 
When I remember to leave this town 
                        G      D          Em 
Nothing to show but the sweat upon the brow 
                   D 
Giving in to those I'll leave behind 
G                 Em         B7 
Comfort I can't hope to find 


Verse 2:
Em                  C          Em 
Stolen friends in a borrowed car 
           G        D          Em 
Haled in behind the soul's own bars 
                 D 
Forty dollars on a debit card 
G     D            Em  B7 
Won't get you very far 


G                D                Em 
It ain't the melodies I'm singing 
               C 
That linger in your eyes 
G                      D           G 
Words written when I'm down and out 
                  Em      B7 
Can't seem to get me high 


Verse 3:
Em                 C 
She ain't the only one who knows 
Em                 G 
Met me a scarecrow walking fallowed rows 
Em            D 
Gin drunk and hollow eyed 
G                     Em     B7 
Paled up by the Ghost inside 



G                D                Em 
It ain't the melodies I'm singing 
               C 
That linger in your eyes 
G                      D 
Words written when I'm down and out 
Em                C 
Can't seem to get us high 
G                      D 
And honey babe, I know I've fallen 
Em                            C 
Although you can't seem to see 
G                D                 G 
The ice growing 'round our windows 
                   Em  B7 
It's all 'cause of me

Verse 4:
Em                   C 
Felt the canyon wind scrape my bones 
Em               G                   D 
Kicks the colder nights and thoughts we'll leave alone 
Em              D 
That old man he surely grins 
G                      Em   B7 
Frozen down beneath my skin 


G                D 
It ain't the melodies I'm singing 
Em             C 
That linger in your eyes 
G                      D               Em 
And words written when I'm down and out 
                  C 
Can't seem to get me high 
G                   D 
And honey babe, the snow keeps falling 
Em                          C 
Though you weren't meant to see 
G                 D                G 
The ice crawling 'round our windows 
                Em    B7 
It's all 'cause of me
