verse 1
G Bm
I was sittin in the rocking chair by the side of the house
C Am
Where streetlight stars and all the highway cars
G
Claps and it drips on your window
G
I'll get something to eat, but all these spaces I meet
Bm
Seem so hypnotizing
C Am G
These eyes are exits to be
[Refrão] Bm
And things ain't what they used to be
Am
Got this flickering heart set out after me
G B Em
If my mind was a poem, I burned it up all before
Am G C
If I drink some more well I think I might drown
Am G C
Slipping in silence as my heart it burns out
Am G C
I find the devil inside me and I nail em back down
G
Whoa!
Solo

I'll slowly die for my sins swallow my sins whole

Cause eyes they were bigger than they ever were ohhhhh
[Refrão] Bm
And things ain't what they used to be
Am
Got this flickering heart set out after me
G B Em
If my mind was a poem, I burned it up all before
Am G C
If I drink some more well I think I might drown
Am G C
Slipping in silence as my heart it burns out

I find the devil inside me and I nail em back down

Whoa!
