Intro:

I woke up in Houston

in somebody's kitchen

the ceiling was sweating

and i was afloat

on a dirty brown river

of heroin shivers

D7 G

waiting on someone to send me a boat

Am C

i went back to Charlotte

yes i fell in love with

a girl with a stutter

and didn't love me

she said i don't believe you

i don't believe you

i don't believe you when you’re

C G

laying next to me

so i went down to Tampa

to find me an answer

but it wasn't coming

and neither was she

D7 C

so i tried Swannanoa

where nobody knows me

got so goddamn lonesome

that i had to leave

C G D7 G

i looked death in the face

it was only my father

if i had known all along

i wouldn't have bothered

with being afraid

with being a coward

and trying to fool

some mysterious power

D7 C

cause i don't believe it

i don't believe it

i don't believe it when it’s

C G

laying next to me

no i won't believe it

i won't believe it

i won't believe it til it’s

C G

laying next to me
