Intro
|D#m F# |B F#/A# |F# D#m |C# F# | x2
[Verse]
D#m B F#
We're televisions whose mouths and words
D#m B F#
Don't line up like they should
D#m B F#
You're hard concrete, while I'm stuck on
D#m B F#
The blood staining it and where it came from
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m B F#
Coffee cups collect at the side of my bed
C# D#m
Red pins pushed through the places I've been
B F#
I tie them together with a string
C# D#m B F#
The pattern just tells me, "Go to sleep"
C#
I should go to sleep
[Chorus]
C# D#m B C#
I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right
D#m B C#
I share my name with a stranger all my life
D#m B G#m B
And I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
Run, brother, run
[Instrumental]

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