verse 1
G Bm
I was sittin in the rocking chair by the side of the house
C Am
Where streetlight stars and all the highway cars
G
Claps and it drips on your window
G
I'll get something to eat, but all these spaces I meet
Bm
Seem so hypnotizing
C Am G
These eyes are exits to be
Bm
And things ain't what they used to be
Am
Got this flickering heart set out after me
G B Em
If my mind was a poem, I burned it up all before
Am G C
If I drink some more well I think I might drown
Am G C
Slipping in silence as my heart it burns out
Am G C
I find the devil inside me and I nail em back down
G
Whoa!
Solo

Finally looking out these hoping eyes , all strings pulled put me aside

I'll slowly die for my sins swallow my sins whole

Cause eyes they were bigger than they ever were ohhhhh

And things ain't what they used to be

Got this flickering heart set out after me

If my mind was a poem, I burned it up all before

If I drink some more well I think I might drown
