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

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