[Verse]
Em D G
Today I turned 33
C G
My oldest didn't call
C G
Middle's outta state
D C G
And the youngest lives here with me
Em D G
It's not just a town
C G
It's a final resting place
C G
When I die from choices
D C G
I refused to make
[Chorus]
C G C G
It takes 8 minutes for the sun to hit your bones
D G
I'm a long way from home
C G C G
Only so many days we can own
D G
I'm a long way from home
[Verse]
Em D G
May the places our hearts first broke
C G
All burn down
C G
And what was lost
D C G
Rise up from the ground
Em D G
I'll hold you closer
C G
Than a shadow holds a wall
C G
A child holds a doll
D C G
The way you catch me when I fall
[Outro]
C G C G
It takes 8 minutes for the sun to hit your bones
D G
I'm a long way from home
C G C G
Only so many days we can own
D G
I'm a long way from home
C G C G
It takes 8 minutes for the sun to hit your bones
D G
I'm a long way from home
C G C G
Only so many days we can own
D G
I'm a long way from home
C G C G
It takes 8 minutes for the sun to hit your bones
D G
I'm a long way from home
C G C G
Only so many days we can own
D G
I'm a long way from home
