Blankets Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am][G][Am][G][Am]
[G][Am]

[Verse 1]
I [Am]met her at a racetrack
It was right before some concert
On a blanket selling bracelets
She was searching for a sponsor
I moved her to Montana
We hung on for several summers
It got druggie and we crumbled
But still I never haven't loved her

[Verse 2]
When you pan[F]ic in the [C]city
[G]It feels like one[Am] too many walls
When it thun[F]ders in the [C]canyon
[G]You get the feeling[Am]
you're too small

[Verse 3]
[Am]I washed up and I wandered
I did whatever business looked the best
I found a savior then I lost Him
Had a kid and all the rest
Then the doctor left a message
Said we're looking at these

[Verse 4]
numbers from your test
[Am]
When [G]you're [F]lonely on the prairie
[C]There's sti[G]ll a couple
[Am]people you can call
When it thun[F]ders in [C]the canyon
[G]You get the feeling[Am] you're
too small
[C][F]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]
The de[Am]tective was expensive
[G]But he [Am]thought it was something
he [G]could solve[Am]
Found her serving breakfast
In a cafe in the Skyway in St. Paul
When we got to the Twin Cities
I said man I know some songs about
this [G]place[Am]
[G]When they [Am]swept up all the empties the parties

[Verse 6]
always seemed like such a waste
[Am]
When you pan[F]ic in the [C]city
[G]It feels like one[Am] too many walls
There's [F]an absence in the middle
[C]The peo[G]ple are all hig[Am]h
or in withdrawal
When you're [F]lonely on the
[C]prairie
There's [G]still a couple
people [Am]you can call
When it thun[F]ders in [C]the canyon
[G]You get the feeling you're too small

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][F]
[Dm][Am][C][F]
[Dm]

[Verse 7]
When they're [Am]down there on
the blankets
[C]You can see the lifetime in [F]their eyes[C]
You can [Am]pur chase what they offer
[C]Or see if they've got something
on [F]the side[C]
You [F]live your whole [C]life
Just [G]to travel to the place
[Am]you're gonna die
[F]You travel your whole life
[C]Just to get out[G] to the
[Am]place you're gonna die

[Outro 1]
[Am]
