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

[Verse]
Am F C
I was twenty-five when my dad died
Am F C
My arm's fell weak, my heart grew tired
Am F C
And every girl I tried to kiss
Am F C
Gives that look you did so I just chose to miss
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F C
Find the greatest books flip to the end
G Am
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 Am F G
I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right
Am F G
I share my name with a stranger all my life
Am F Dm F
And I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
C G Am
Run, father, run
[Verse]
Dm G
I keep your things in my garage
Am G C
I won't drive away
Dm F Dm F
I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
Run, brother, run
