verse 1 

       E                        A       E 
Well I married Caroline back in May of ’99 
       A                E          B                 A 
It was fucked up at the time but I figured we’d keep tryin’ 
    E                   A                  E 
Her brother and her dad they were spitting mad 
       A                E                B              A 
When I packed up what I had and took off runnin’ it was bad 
       E                           A           E 
It was mean I didn’t care and it’s gotten me nowhere 
       B                     E 
So I’m trying to be a better man

verse 2 

         E                              A             E 
I turned left turns into right I turned sunshine into night 
         A                E          B               A 
I got my ass kicked every fight no I couldn’t get it right 
        E                     A           E 
I built castles out of sand I didn’t understand 
    A            E                B              A 
Why everything I planned ran like whiskey off my hand 
       E                               A                E 
And my hands were never clean things I wished I’d never seen 
       A           E                 B             A 
I’d do anything to wake up from this motherfuckin’ dream 

E                          A               E 
Who’d I got to blow to get in this fuckin’ show 
     A               E              B               A 
It’s dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go 
      E                            A           E 
But I need a place to hide so I’ll put away my pride 
           A               B        E 
And come inside ’cause I’m tired of running

verse 3 

              A                               E 
And there’s a universe that’s floating out in space 
      A                              E 
And I look up there and I can’t find my face 
        A                        F#m 
And I’m seein’ my reflection backstage 
B 
Writin’ down the same old words on the same old page 

E                          A               E 
Who’d I got to blow to get in this fuckin’ show 
     A               E              B               A 
It’s dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go 
      E                            A           E 
But I need a place to hide so I’ll put away my pride 
           A               B        E 
And come inside ’cause I’m tired of running 

E                          A               E 
Who’d I got to blow to get in this fuckin’ show 
     A              E              B                A 
It’s dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go 
      E                            A           E 
But I need a place to hide so I’ll put away my pride 
           A              B         E 
And come inside ’cause I’m tired of running 
       A               B        E 
Come inside ’cause I’m tired of running 
       A               B        E 
Come inside ’cause I’m tired of running
