Intro D G Em7 (x2) 

verse 1 
D           G                 Em7 
Drivin' and drinkin' what the hell am I thinkin' 
D             G 
Tryin' to get hurt again 
Em7 
Just tryin' to feel something 
D           G      Em7                          D       G 
You left me there, said I didn't care about the way you felt 
Em7               A7 
Things I'm doing to myself 

        Em7              G 
And the stars ain't like I remember them 
           D                 A7 
Out Brutus Road in northwest Michigan 
          Em7             G 
Where the sky's a special kind of black 
       D                    A7 
Yeah I wish that I was back there again 
        G               Em7   D          A7 
And I'm sorry that I'll never change for you 
          G                          Em7             D     G Em7 D G Em7 
When it's right in front of you it's hard to see the truth 

verse 2 
D      G          Em7 
I call home about every other day 
D       G               Em7 
Just to check in to see what they got to say 
D        G           Em7 
I said I changed but they don't care 
    D       G           Em7                  A7 
But I guess words don't mean the same thing everywhere 
 
        Em7              G 
And the stars ain't like I remember them 
           D                 A7

Yeah I wish that I was back there again 
        G               Em7   D          A7 
And I'm sorry that I'll never change for you 
          G                          Em7 
When it's right in front of you it's hard to see 
     G 
It's hard to see the truth 

Bridge 
                Em7 
When it staring right back at you 
               G 
Makes me wanna run and hide 
                      Em7 
Now I'm layin' on the road side 
              G 
All around is broken glass 

        Em7              G 
And the stars ain't like I remember them 
           D                 A7 
Out Brutus Road in northwest Michigan
