Intro: Dm Am (repeat 8x) 

verse 1: 

Dm                           Am 
They say I got a wandering eye 

Dm                          Am 
It strays too far from the flock 

B                      F 
Always going where the grass is greener 

  Gm                     A 
A skeleton key for each lock 

Dm                       Am 
You can be my judge and my jury 

Dm                            Am 
Condemn me to the soil and the Earth 

B                        F 
Tied me to the end of four horses 

       Gm                       A 
Place a bet on which part goes first 

     Gm 
Well here I slump at the end of some nowhere 

   C 
My arm in a sling, and a thousand yard stare 

F                         Am 
Watching the boats there's family and friends 

     D 
They won't come ashore if they have any sense 

Gm                     
A wedding procession is moved from the church 

A                       
I turned a good blessing into a bad curse 

   B 
The coyotes and crows peck at my eye 

  C                      Am                Dm 
To stop me from drifting away with the tide 


Repeat Intro: Dm Am 4x  


verse 2: 

    Dm                       Am            
They say I got potential for violence 

     Dm                     Am 
I can kill a man with my own bare hands 

    B                  F 
But I can't focus on anything 

   Gm                      A 
Let alone have a murderous plan 

     Dm                   Am 
I remember when I first saw you 

          Dm              Am 
I couldn’t move I was paralyzed 

    B                         F 
I wondered if you would be the only one to 

       Gm                  A 
Put an end to my wandering eye 


     Gm 
Well here I slump at the end of some nowhere 

   C 
My arm in a sling, and a thousand yard stare 

F                         Am 
Watching the boats there's family and friends 

     D 
They won't come ashore if they have any sense 

Gm                     
A wedding procession is moved from the church 

A                       
I turned a good blessing into a bad curse 

   B                                 C 
The coyotes and crows peck at my eye 

  B                                    C 
To stop me from drifting away with the tide 


Bridge: 

F                                 C 
There’s no way that I can make it stop 

F                             B 
I have fallen so far from the top 

F                                   C 
There's no doubt I'll never be like you 

F                                   B    A 
Stay in one place live the life you choose 


Dm Am Dm Am B F Gm A 


End: 


Dm                           Am 
They say I got a wandering eye 

Dm                          Am 
It strays too far from the flock 

B                      F 
Always going where the grass is greener 

  Gm                     A 
A skeleton key for each lock 

Dm Am Dm Am B F Gm A
