[Intro]
Em G/F# G Cadd9
Em G/F# G Cadd9
 
[Verse 1]
Em G/F# G Cadd9
Yeah, if I could take that picture down and throw it on floor
Em G/F# G Cadd9
Would it turn me into the guy you were always looking for
Em G/F# G Cadd9
The signs of depression keep rolling round the bend
Em G/F# G Cadd9
And I hope that my last dollar will help me on the mend
 
Em G/F# G Cadd9
 
[Verse 2]
Em G/F# G Cadd9
Yeah, I know that I ain't made of clay I ain't that moldable
Em G/F# G Cadd9
But God damn I can't help myself I love that rodeo
Em G/F# G Cadd9
If only you knew what I was and all that I want
Em G/F# G Cadd9
You'd let me roll down blacktop 'til I can't find a place to stop
 
[Chorus]
D C G
And if you need my help then come along
D C G
Cause I've been going too long to be alone
C D
All the rank broncs and the steers
Cadd9
Can't find my way past beers
Em G/F# G Cadd9
And I hope I'm not the only one out here that's fighting tears
 
[Instrumetnal]
Em G/F# G Cadd9
Em G/F# G Cadd9
 
[Verse 3]
Em G/F# G Cadd9
Yeah, you got a job in another town we tried to make it work
Em G/F# G Cadd9
But all the signs kept leading me to black soil dirt
Em G/F# G Cadd9
But the lonesome whistle echoes on for everyone to hear
Em G/F# G Cadd9
After we broke up, my Brightside shine, everything is clear
 
Em G/F# G Cadd9
 
[Verse 4]
Em G/F# G Cadd9
In another town in another year, they had one on near there
Em G/F# G Cadd9
After the ride me and my boys went out to clear the air
Em G/F# G Cadd9
And across the stop in a roadside bar off of hammer avenue
Em G/F# G Cadd9
Was a stripping girl from my hometown with a devil tattoo
 
Em G/F# G Cadd9
 
[Verse 5]
Em G/F# G Cadd9
Tried to take her back home and get her on the straight and right
Em G/F# G Cadd9
Took a photo on an old iPhone to commemorate the night
Em G/F# G Cadd9
If I could go back all them years I wouldn't married her
Em G/F# G Cadd9
And fixed the broken glass that is my past to make this girl her
 
[Chorus]
D C G
And if you need my help then come along
D C G
Cause I've been going too long to be alone
C D
All the rank broncs and the steers
Cadd9
Can't find my way past beers
Em G/F# G Cadd9
And I hope I'm not the only one out here that's fighting tears
 
[Instrumetnal]
Em G/F# G Cadd9
Em G/F# G Cadd9
 
[Verse 6]
Em G/F# G Cadd9
First round of rehab didn't seem to work for you
Em G/F# G Cadd9
After two long months at a county jail, I set a table for two
Em G/F# G Cadd9
I said I'll send you back there one last time, try for gold this year
Em G/F# G Cadd9
Cause your daughters graduating and I'm sure she wants you here
 
Em G/F# G Cadd9
 
[Verse 7]
Em G/F# G Cadd9
Come around September time we all thought she was good
Em G/F# G Cadd9
But there's something in the bottle and a dollar store backwood
Em G/F# G Cadd9
We found her by the rafters of her old two trailer home
Em G/F# G Cadd9
The only one who knows is a porcelain garden gnome
 
Em G/F# G Cadd9
 
[Verse 8] (1 strum each chord)
Em Cadd9
Laid her down in our hometown we really fought for her
 
Em Cadd9
Her mum and dad picked a coffin out of old Fraser fur
Em G/F# G Cadd9
They told me not to bash myself I did all I could
Em G/F# G Cadd9
Told me if I'm down, come around, tell us all the things you could
 
[Chorus]
D C G
And if you need my help then come along
D C G
Cause I've been going too long to be alone
C D
All the rank broncs and the steers
Cadd9
Can't find my way past beers
Em G/F# G Cadd9
And I hope I'm not the only one out here that's fighting tears
Em G/F# G Cadd9
And I hope I'm not the only one out here that's fighting tears
