[Verse 1]
 
G Bm
Well the sun comes up on nowhere
C G
I got nowhere left to hide
Bm
I need some scrambled eggs
C G
And whiskey on the side
Bm
I got a bad taste in my mouth
C
Somethin' I said
G Am
Numb is all I feel, man
C G
I should've gone to bed
 
G Bm
There's a wind from out of nowhere
C G
Come to blow me away
Bm
Throw me a rope
C G
I've had a bad day
Bm
I walked out and left my coat
C G
An' now the weather's turning cold
Am
I don't feel so smart
C G
I don't feel so bold
 
[Chorus]
 
C C/B Am
And it smells like rain
C C/B Am
And it feels like hell
C C/B Am Am/G F
Wish me luck and fare me well

[Verse 2]
 
G Bm
Now there's nothin' left to take back
C G
There's nothin' to regret
Bm
The sooner I get movin'
C G
The sooner I get wet
Bm
There's nothin' left unsaid
C G
There's nothin' left undone
Am
But if I hadn't left my coat
C G
I'd be already gone
 
[Chorus]
 
C C/B Am
And it smells like rain
C C/B Am
And it feels like hell
C C/B Am Am/G F
Wish me luck and fare me well
 
C C/B Am
And it smells like rain
C C/B Am
And it feels like hell
C C/B Am Am/g F
Where do I go now?
F G C
Think I'll go back and get my coat
