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