intro: Am C x2
Am C
Strung out, needle in arm
F C G Am C Am C
And the ocean is bleeding salt on your wounds
Am
So I sat, as armies marched
F C G Am C Am C
But you found me awake but asleep on the porch
F Am
And don't you cry, my darling
F G
Nashville is forgotten
F Am
And don't you cry, my darling
F G
New York is the ocean
Am C x2
Am C
Brooklyn, quiet and cold
F
When the bars close
C G Am C Am C
You're stuck counting cracks on the street
Am
Then war breaks, and you're swinging the gun
F
But when the bomb drops
C G Am C Am C
You're stuck counting cracks in your teeth
F Am
And don't you cry, my darling
F G
Nashville is forgotten
F Am
And don't you cry, my darling
F G
New York is the ocean
Am C
Strung out, needle in arm
F C G Am
And the ocean is bleeding salt on your wounds
