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

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