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

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