Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
C C Am G C
[Verse 1]
C
Everyone seems a damn genius lately
C
TikTok talking, late-night TV
Am G C
There’s still so much that I have yet to know
C
We get dressed up just to go downtown
C
In some ego-filled, late night crowd
Am G C
It seems that’s where I feel the most alone
C
I’d like to get lost on some old backroad
C
Find a shade tree and a honey hole
Am G C
And talk to my grandpa again
[Verse 2]
C
I see God in everything
C
Trees and pain and nights in spring
Am G C
So why do I still long for a home?
C
I’d like to lay in a field on a cozy blanket
C
And feel the fear of never waking
Am G C
To know the true warmth of the sun
C
I’d like to love my lady long and hard
C
And lay down lines of laymen guitar
Am G C
And never leave loving arms again
[Verse 3]
C
My exes hate me and my friends all miss me
C
I want to drown in rot gut whiskey
Am G C
And leave this small town for awhile
C
Head to Paris on a late-night flight
C
Find a bar and get in a fight
Am G C
Write a few poems on a sunny balcony
C
I want to be a child climbing trees somewhere
C
Breathing in the fresh, outside air
Am G C
Before I knew this life was unkind
C
I want a well-trained dog and on a couple of acres
C
A kind, kind lady and a place to take her
Am G C
And a few good friends I can count on one of my hands
[Verse 4]
C
I know I’m bound to die one day
C
So when I reach those golden gates
Am G C
I pray to say I did the best I can
C
Sit with my mother and the dearly departed
C
Send a prayer down to the broken hearted
Am G C
Let em’ know it all turns out just fine
C
To know me is to love me and to hate me is to wrong me
C
I prefer my nights lonely
Am G C
I love blues guitar and muscle cars and gin
[Pre Chorus]
C
I’m a simple man. I don’t need much
C
Just my simple songs and some human touch
Am G C
and I’m tired now so I’m bringing my ass home
[Chorus]
F
So let me go
Am
Down the line
G
Let me feel it all
F
Joy pain and sky
F
Let me go
Am
Down the line
G F
We all burn, burn, burn then die
[Chorus]
F
So let me go
Am
Down the line
G
Let me feel it all
F
Joy pain and sky
F
Let me go
Am
Down the line
G F
We all burn, burn, burn then die
[Chorus]
F
So let me go
Am
Down the line
G
Let me feel it all
F
Joy pain and sky
F
Let me go
Am
Down the line
G F
We all burn, burn, burn then die
