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

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