Introduction: C G D Em C C
C G D Em C
Louisiana in a broken down car
C G D Em C
At the whim of a kind stranger with a crowbar
C G D Em C
Headlights passing us stranded in the bayou
C G D Em C
Lost in the dark singing to "Pictures of You"
C G D Em C
And I don't miss chapping my lips from saying sorry
C G D Em C
Still I wish I could say it one last time
C G D Em C
So many nights I cut my tongue to make it sharper
C G D Em C
It wasn't my fault but it wasn't yours either
Am G C
Stepped on my own tail again
Am G C
When I saw you across the street
Am G C
Thought of what I'd say to you
Am C
But my words all come up empty
Am C
All my words they sound so empty
C G D Em C
I like to know that we're now both growing up
C G D Em C
Cleaned the dirt off my nails and regained my luck
C G D Em C
I wonder why it was so hard to let you go
C G D Em C
I know I walk fast, but my heart moves so--o slow
Am G C
Stepped on my own tail again
Am G C
When I saw you across the street
Am G C
Thought of what I'd say to you
Am C
But my words all come up empty
Am C
All my words sound so fucking empty
C G D Em C
Louisiana in a broken down car
C G D Em C
What if we only got that far
