F (A) C (E)
My mom laid me on a blanket
Am (C#m) G (B)
wiped the dust right off my face
F C
asked the nurse is he gonna make it?
Am G
I was cold and I was scared and naked
F C
She carried me until I broke her back
Am G
I took her shoes and lowered my hat
Am G
to block the light of a single moon
C (E) B/C (B) Am (C#m)
I count the stars and wonder how I
F (A)
ever fell this far. My
C/E B/C Am F
cigarette sparkles to the ground.
I burn another down.
F C
I saddle broke a wild scapegoat and
Am G
hid the shoes I stole
F C
when the winter nights turned cold
Am G
them shoes would have warmed my toes
F C
made it down to Tennessee where I
Am G
found some friends to carry me
Am G
I hear their backbones creak
C (E) B/C (B) Am (C#m)
I count the stars and wonder how I
F (A)
ever fell this far. My
C/E B/C Am F
cigarette sparkles to the ground.
I burn another down.
(verse chords):
F C
Im a grounded astronaut
Am G
this rock is not my home
F C
I can take this earth suit off
Am G
peel the fabric past my bones
(2x)
Am G
This is not this is not my home
Am G
This is not this is not my home
Am G
This is not this is not my home..
Am G
This is not this is not my home
Am G Am G Am G
This is not this is not this is not this is not this not this is not my home
Am G Am C
This is not this is not this is not my home and I count (Chorus)
C (E) B/C (B) Am (C#m)
I count the stars and wonder how I
F (A)
ever fell this far. My
C/E B/C Am F
cigarette sparkles to the ground.
I burn another down.
