I don't know how many years it’s been Cause I’ve been drunk most the time Ever since you left me here I’ve needed something in my life So I kept a bottle near to me And I fell in love once or twice But I ain’t caught the high you gave me No one else feels quite right And I don’t know where you are What you’ve been working at hard Or if anybody has your heart right now But I wanna see you again That feeling grew prominent Open doors and let the wind blow round The boy you knew was red and blue Always found a way to complain So I never really could blame you When it made you go insane I’ve grown since then, just a little bit But I don’t think I know the way To treat you the way you deserve And ain’t that such a risk to take And we know that your safest bet Is keeping a healthy distance From the man who already went to town But I wanna see you again That feeling grew prominent Open doors and let the wind blow round

Stranger 03:37
Feed me stranger Ive been starving for some more feed me well until my stomach ain’t soar Have a second helping i don’t think they’ll tell Fill yourself up until your fingers swell Feel no danger you don’t gotta lock up the door feel no anger shacking with a troubadour in a few months we’ll leave the farm and when the flames have tapered we collect the claim we made against the barn Feed me stranger Ive been starving for some more it ain’t just something I can get at the store buy a compliment, and sell your charm a bit of shadow won’t do no harm Pay the wager I bet they end up sleeping on the floor Ain’t that the folklore I don’t wanna work no more that ain’t really working’ thats just having fun but i don’t want her lifting up a thumb

You were, you were watching Me do, things forgotten Truer, than you would have thought it For me too, if I’m being honest I won’t look the other way I don’t think that is my place How you got this look on my face I’ll never know I’m past, tryna hide it You’ve got me, doubtlessly decided Why ask, how it started inclining When stopping, is far out of our timing

Alright 04:44
I had just started feeling better She’d gotten close and I let her When I know that I should have never Put her in that place cause I remember The light leaving so many eyes And knowing the fault is all mine It keeps getting heavier over time And I just want her to be alright For some time I had forgotten Why I was alone at the bottom She distracted me from all those problems But demons catch up if you’ve got em And they’ve always got me in their sights Eyes on us all day and all night And it keeps getting heavier over time And I just want her to be alright Yea I just want her to be alright

picking life up off the ground again i’ve got no appreciation though i don’t think I can I am reaching out my hands picking life up off the ground again I ain’t tried my very best If i’m being honest catch myself in a day dream i’m growing tired of routine i can’t accept the very less picking life up off the ground again and It won’t be long I bet to proud to ask for help ain’t nothing to brag about picking life up off the ground again picking life up off the ground again i’ve got no appreciation though i don’t think I can I am reaching out my hands picking life up off the ground again got things to do, I can’t be bothered drowned a double like a glass of water when it goes down so smooth you know i’m in a bad mood thinking like a young fool again From the ground I will begin and Im through with the life of sin my face won’t be red no thoughts floating round my head picking life up off the ground again

I want you so badly, it doesn’t seem right to Want someone so badly You know it you had me, all in your life you Don’t show it, you’re not happy And I shouldn’t feel hopeless, the world will still turn but What’s the point, where’s it going Cause I thought things were golden, at least getting better love But these doors are all closing The worst part is that it’s fair For you to wanna start heading there Now you are all I see, but it’s like a picture cause The real thing has looked by me You could stand beside me, the same way that we did love But there’s a whole world you’re hiding So maybe I misread things, when I started falling in Cause I saw us embedding It felt like my blessing, to get to live like you did But now that skin is shedding You’ll take pieces of me with you What’ll remain of me ain’t new

Road 29 02:46
Down road 29, you can see the whole town from the highway People drive right by ain’t got the time to visit, no time to come inside I ain’t got time to leave Down road 29, nobody follows to close behind happy to wait in line here to offer an open ear, look you in the eyes watch for things you’ve never seen still water like a sleeping child, i don’t mean to disturb you steep mountain ridge higher than ever come on down to the ground come closer to me Down road 29, i’d like to buy the house where I will die something by the river side somewhere we have some acreage, and guitars amplified i like good energy i like to have a good time down road 29

I was hanging out at an old bank street bar (Cm) (A#) (G#) Am G F The first time I lied eyes You were pushing your pains terribly far Clinging to a glass of ice And i saw you raise your view from the floor to stare across the room You may have been looking for the door Am G But something captured you Hook (G#) (Fm) (Cm) F Dm Am And I swear in that moment it started to rain I spoke some words and you spoke back the same (D#) (A#) C G And you moved yourself closer (Cm) (G#) Am F Then anybody ought to be (Cm) (Gm) (G#) Am Em F I was trying to keep those thoughts colder (Cm) (A#) (G#) Am G F But you pulled them out of me Solo(verse chords)(guitar) Verse 2 Been at least a year since i let someone get To me the way that you have It’s been lonely but good for me I guess Depending on who you ask But you awakened something I haven’t felt Since I was eighteen years old Blindly prepared to give away myself To a strange and intriguing soul Hook 2 And I swear in that moment it started to rain I let all my concerns be consumed by the flame And you moved yourself closer With no more words to be said And you put your arms around my shoulders As the rain fell on our heads
