[Verse]
DMy airbag Emlight's been on for wBmeeks
And GI keep having dreDams
Where I Emgo through the wiBmndshield but I don't fGix it.
DPatsy CEmline came and sang to Bmme.
She told eGverybodyD  
That she Emknew she would Bmdie soon before she dGid.
BmI hear you Dcry on "Faded LGove".
BmThe air in ADugust here's hGeavy with salt and smoke and stings my lungs.
Bm   D    G    B A
Bm   D    Bm   E F# G A
DMy airbag liEmght's been on for weBmeks
And GI can feel it mDock me.
It's bEmittersweet, like lBmaughter through crooked tGeeth.
DI wanna moEmve so far from eBmverything
That tGhey can hear my Dheart beat
And then Embreak as I lay dBmying in the street.G  
BmThey'll think the Dice cracked at the lGake.
BmThey'll think a tDire blew out and a cGar crashed on the interstate.
[Chorus]
DIt's hard to Awatch you walk aGway.
DThese aren't the vuAltures that were Bmcircling just yGesterday.
DIt's hard to wAatch you walk Gaway.
DThey're picking at boAnes, at what's left of your mGisery.Em  F#  G

Bm   D   Bm   Em F# G A
BmWhoa-oh, wDhoa-ohBm  Em  F#  G  A  
BmWhoa-oh, wDhoa-ohBm  G  
EmSo when my vF#ocal AchorGds rip,
EmSo when my kF#nees give Gin,
EmSo when I DburAy aGll of this,
EmWho's gonna gF#ive a shit
GIf I'm breathing?
[Chorus]
DIt's hard to Awatch you walk aGway.

[Verse]

D Em Bm

My airbag light's been on for weeks

G D

And I keep having dreams

Em Bm G

Where I go through the windshield but I don't fix it.

D Em Bm

Patsy Cline came and sang to me.

G D

She told everybody

Em Bm G

That she knew she would die soon before she did.

Bm D G

I hear you cry on "Faded Love".

Bm D G

The air in August here's heavy with salt and smoke and stings my lungs.

Bm D G B A

Bm D Bm E F# G A

D Em Bm

My airbag light's been on for weeks

G D

And I can feel it mock me.

Em Bm G

It's bittersweet, like laughter through crooked teeth.

D Em Bm

I wanna move so far from everything

G D

That they can hear my heart beat

Em Bm G

And then break as I lay dying in the street.

Bm D G

They'll think the ice cracked at the lake.

Bm D G

They'll think a tire blew out and a car crashed on the interstate.

[Chorus]

D A G

It's hard to watch you walk away.

D A Bm G

These aren't the vultures that were circling just yesterday.

D A G

It's hard to watch you walk away.

D A G Em F# G

They're picking at bones, at what's left of your misery.

[Bridge]

Bm D Bm G

Bm D Bm Em F# G A

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Bm D Bm G

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Em F# A G

So when my vocal chords rip,

Em F# G

So when my knees give in,

Em D A G

So when I bury all of this,

Em F#

Who's gonna give a shit

If I'm breathing?

[Chorus]

D A G

It's hard to watch you walk away.

D A Bm G

These aren't the vultures that were circling just yesterday.

D A G

It's hard to watch you walk away.

D A G Em F# G

They're picking at bones, at what's left of your misery.

[Outro]

Bm D

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

G Em F# G A

My airbag light's been on for weeks.

Bm D

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

G Em F# G A

My airbag light's been on for weeks.
