[Verse]
I started working at the Gsecond hand,
I thought it would make me more Ccolorful.
I saw the world as a Dstitch and patch.
I saw the sky as Gtorn grey wool. 
I started working as a Gdime store clerk,
I thought it would make me the Ckind to put you first.
My only dreams were in Dfluorescent light,
My only goal was to Gforget what I was worth.
[Chorus]
I want to see how it Gtakes me.
I want to see how the Cpowder burns.
Don't want to keep what I Dcan't have more of.
Don't want to wait and miss my Gturn.

[Verse]
I started working as a Gtour guide,
I thought it would make me Cbelieve my own words.
Every patient thought just Dpassed me by,
Every truth I said sounded Gjust absurd.
I started working at a Gsmall town church,
I thought it would make me a Cbetter man.
They said the sins I had would Dfly away,
As if the birds were in the Gpalms of my own hands.
[Chorus]
I want to see how it Gtakes me.
I want to see how the Cpowder burns.
Don't want to keep what I Dcan't have more of.
Don't want to wait and miss my Gturn.

Packed Powder

Capo 2

[Intro] strumming

[Verse]

I started working at the second hand,

I thought it would make me more colorful.

I saw the world as a stitch and patch.

I saw the sky as torn grey wool.

I started working as a dime store clerk,

I thought it would make me the kind to put you first.

My only dreams were in fluorescent light,

My only goal was to forget what I was worth.

[Chorus]

I want to see how it takes me.

I want to see how the powder burns.

Don't want to keep what I can't have more of.

Don't want to wait and miss my turn.

[Interlude]

[Verse]

I started working as a tour guide,

I thought it would make me believe my own words.

Every patient thought just passed me by,

Every truth I said sounded just absurd.

I started working at a small town church,

I thought it would make me a better man.

They said the sins I had would fly away,

As if the birds were in the palms of my own hands.

[Chorus]

I want to see how it takes me.

I want to see how the powder burns.

Don't want to keep what I can't have more of.

Don't want to wait and miss my turn.
