[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Here we [D]sit
Across [G]the table from each [D]other
A thousand [G]miles from
both our [D]mothers,
Barely [E]old enough to [A]rust

[Verse 2]
Here we [D]sit[G][D]
Pretending [G]both our hearts
are an[D]chors
Taking [G]candy from these [D]strangers
Amidst [A]the diesel and the dust
[D]

[Verse 3]
And here we [G]sit[D]
Singing [G]words nobody [D]taught us
Drinking [G]fire, and spitting saw[D]dust,
Trying [E]to teach ourselves [A]to breathe

[Verse 4]
We haven't [D]yet,[G][D]
But every [G]chorus brings us [D]closer
Every fly[G]er and every [D]poster
[Bm]Gives [D]a p[A]iece of what we n[D]eed

[Verse 5]
And [G]the sand that they call cocaine
cost you [D]twice as much as gold
You'd be [G]better off to drink
your coffee [A]black
But I [D]swear, the [A]land it [G]listened
to [A]the [G]stories that we [D]told
God bless the bus[A]ted boat that brings
[G]us back

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][G]
[A][D]

[Verse 6]
Morning's [D]rough
It don't give [G]a damn
about the mis[D]sion
Has no aes[G]thetic or tradi[D]tion,
[E]Only lessons never [A]learned

[Verse 7]
And I'd had [D]enough
About [G]a month ago tomor[D]row
Parting [G]holds no trace of sor[D]row
For the [A]bitter and the burned
[D]

[Verse 8]
And [G]the piss they call tequila even
[D]Waylon wouldn't drink
Well I'd [G]rather sip this Listerine I [A]packed
But I [D]swear, we've [A]never [G]seen
a [A]better [G]place to sit [D]and think
God bless the [G]busted [A]ship that brings us [G]back
[D]

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][G]
[D][G][A][D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D][G][A][D]
And [G]the sand

[Verse 9]
that they call cocaine cost
[D]you twice as much as gold
You'd be [G]better off to drink
your coffee [A]black
But I [D]swear, the [A]land it [G]listened
to [A]the [G]stories that we [D]told
God bless the bus[G]ted [A]boat that brings
[G]us [D]bac[A]k[G]

[Outro 1]
