Verse

I can be romantic

When I'm starving for sleep

To remember anything

With hair from a dog

I’ve got a fistful of its mane

So I shove it down my throat

Luck left late Saturday and now
Em
Jesus Christ I'm wrecked to bed
D#m F
They watch me sleeping in the kennel again

I can't recall the bark but the bay, I admit
A G
If I was listening I could hear it
[Verse 2]
B G
I’m shock-collared at the gates of heaven

25 years that I’ve been trying to shake loose

And if I try to sit still

Then someone's breathing down my neck

I should see myself out

Lay me down in the tub

Throw away my phone

Strap a muzzle to my mouth now

If I was listening I could hear it

C G Em
If I was listening I could hear it
[Chorus]
If I listen I can hear
C G
Palms kept white hot gold rings folded like a
Em
Knot tied tight sweat leave sleep take me now

I've gone wrong beside
Em
I can't see what's there
But if I listen I can hear
C G
Luck bent low roar drum pressed to the glass
Em
The glass pressed loose soft spots marked on the wall
C
Wall an empty stomach
G
I've done nothing right
Em
I can't see what's there
If I listen I can hear
C G
Palms kept white hot gold rings folding like a
Em
Knot tied tight sweat leave sleep take me now
C
I've done nothing right
G
I've gone wrong beside
Em
I can't see what's there
I can't see anything at all
