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