Intro
|Dm F |A# F/A |F Dm |C F | x2
[Verse]
Dm A# F
We're televisions whose mouths and words
Dm A# F
Don't line up like they should
Dm A# F
You're hard concrete, while I'm stuck on
Dm A# F
The blood staining it and where it came from
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm A# F
Coffee cups collect at the side of my bed
C Dm
Red pins pushed through the places I've been
A# F
I tie them together with a string
C Dm A# F
The pattern just tells me, "Go to sleep"
C
I should go to sleep
[Chorus]
C Dm A# C
I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right
Dm A# C
I share my name with a stranger all my life
Dm A# Gm A#
And I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
Run, brother, run
[Instrumental]
|Dm F |A# F/A |F Dm |C F |
[Verse]
Dm A# F
I was twenty-five when my dad died
Dm A# F
My arm's fell weak, my heart grew tired
Dm A# F
And every girl I tried to kiss
Dm A# F
Gives that look you did so I just chose to miss
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm A# F
Find the greatest books flip to the end
C Dm
In those last lines you'll find my friends
A# F
Like flies on tape, I keep them close
C
We may look dead but move our toes
[Chorus]
C Dm A# C
I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right
Dm A# C
I share my name with a stranger all my life
Dm A# Gm A#
And I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
F C Dm
Run, father, run
[Verse]
Gm C
I keep your things in my garage
Dm C F
I won't drive away
Gm A# Gm A#
I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
Run, brother, run
[Outro]
