CAnd putting peaks in my rear Bbview
Well it's Dmcolder here than anyone told Bbme the south could Fget
And I Ctook to staying up real late and Bbsmoking cigarettes
DmCheap tobacco burns the way that Bbbridge between us Fdid
CAnd I'm left looking at the glowing Bbends

I wish DmI could take the hands of time and Bbturn them in reFverse
I'd Ctake back every long goodbye with Bbvenom in my words
The Dmonly way to be bein' found is Bbgetting lost, at Ffirst
But Call I find are more bridges to Bbburn
[CHORUS]
