Dylan Gossett - Coal

Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
Am G6add11 F
Am G6add11

[Verse 1]
F Am G6add11
Well I remember what you told me
F
Said drinkin’ was unholy
Am G6add11 F
So Lord, can you point me to the creek
Am G6add11
And I still keep it with me
F
Tucked under all the memories
Am G6add11 F
Your voice echoin’ throughout those trees

[Interlude]
Am G6add11 F Am G6add11

[Verse 2]
F Am G6add11
And through unfavored weather
F
And holes in the leather
Am G6add11 F
These boots still covered in tar
Am G6add11
Well I’m still prayin’ to the Heavens
F
And hopin’ for them sevens
Am G6add11 F
But hope only gets a man so far

[Chorus]
Am G6add11 F
When this game of life plays heavy on my heart
Am G6add11 F
And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
Am G6add11 F
And I’ll carry that ‘bout everywhere I go
Am G6add11
They say pressure makes diamonds
F
How the hell am I still coal?

[Interlude]
Am G6add11 F Am G6add11

[Verse 3]
F Am G6add11
Now I’ve seen Heaven without dyin’
F
Met the Devil without tryin’
Am G6add11 F
And they both seem to want to talk to me
Am G6add11
But I’m all out of luck now
F
And my dreams aren’t worth a buck
Am G6add11 F
How it’s tough tryin’ to land on my feet

[Chorus]
Am G6add11 F
When this game of life plays heavy on my heart
Am G6add11 F
And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
Am G6add11 F
And I’ll carry that ‘bout everywhere I go
Am G6add11
They say pressure makes diamonds
F
How the hell am I still coal?

[Bridge]
Am G6add11 F
And every day is gettin’ colder, since that day in October
Am G6add11 F
When you told me it was over, so I left
Am G6add11
‘Cause if you need me, well I told ya
F
I’m on the better side of sober
Am G6add11
Tryin’ to find a fourleaf clover
F
To get me out of this mess

[Chorus]
Am G6add11 F
This game of life plays heavy on my heart
Am G6add11 F
And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
Am G6add11 F
And I’ll carry that ‘bout everywhere I go
Am G6add11
They say pressure makes diamonds
F
How the hell
Am G6add11 F
This game of life plays heavy on my heart
Am G6add11 F
And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
Am G6add11 F
And I’ll carry that ‘bout everywhere I go
Am G6add11
They say pressure makes diamonds
F
How the hell am I still coal?
