Intro

[Verse]
F#m D A
We're televisions whose mouths and words
F#m D A
Don't line up like they should
F#m D A
You're hard concrete, while I'm stuck on
F#m D A
The blood staining it and where it came from
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m D A
Coffee cups collect at the side of my bed
E F#m
Red pins pushed through the places I've been
D A
I tie them together with a string
E F#m D A
The pattern just tells me, "Go to sleep"
E
I should go to sleep
[Chorus]
E F#m D E
I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right
F#m D E
I share my name with a stranger all my life
F#m D Bm D
And I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
Run, brother, run
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
F#m D A
I was twenty-five when my dad died
F#m D A
My arm's fell weak, my heart grew tired
F#m D A
And every girl I tried to kiss
F#m D A
Gives that look you did so I just chose to miss
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m D A
Find the greatest books flip to the end
E F#m
In those last lines you'll find my friends
D A
Like flies on tape, I keep them close
E
We may look dead but move our toes
[Chorus]
E F#m D E
I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right
F#m D E
I share my name with a stranger all my life
F#m D Bm D
And I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
A E F#m
Run, father, run
[Verse]
Bm E
I keep your things in my garage
F#m E A
I won't drive away
Bm D Bm D
I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
Run, brother, run
[Outro]
