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
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
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
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
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
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
F Let me go
C Down the line
G I wanna feel it all
F Joy, pain and sky
F Let me go
C Down the line
G We all burn, burn, burn then die
F Let me go
G I wanna feel it all
F Joy, pain and sky
F Let me go
C Down the line
G We all burn, burn, burn then die
