Intro: E A E A

               E
I'm stuck on a memory,
       A                              E      B   A
Of you dancing in a backyard in North Jersey.
               E
You're holding sparklers,
        A                                E              B    A
And silhouetted by the porch lights on a summer evening.
              C#         B                  A
So, while I'm pulling my gloves off with my teeth, 
   C#                 B          A
It occurred to me you used to be happy.

            E             B   A
I curse the dashboard heat, 
It's fucking freezing. 
 E                     B   A
Asleep in the backseat, 
                          G#m A
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty. 
                G#m A
I feel so damn empty.

       E
I keep thinking
               A                              E           B    A
That I'll feel better when it's warmer across state lines. 
         E           A                            E                        B   A
Now I'm scraping ice off of the windshield with a piece of broken taillight.
C#             B             A
Oh, I wouldn't quite call it homesick 
           C#          B           A
but I keep seeing your face in the northbound traffic. 

            E             B   A
I curse the dashboard heat, 
It's fucking freezing. 
 E                     B   A
Asleep in the backseat, 
                          G#m A
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty. 
                G#m A
I feel so damn empty.

B               C#      B
I'm gonna go to Georgia.
A
I'm gonna smile in the sun.
B                       C#   B          A
I'm gonna pick you some wild day-lilies,
And I'm gonna hold on to them. 
F#m                       A
I'm gonna keep them in my pocket 
F#m                  A
Till you let me back home.
F#m             A
I'm gonna go to Georgia,
F#m                 A
And I'm coming back whole.

            E             B   A
I curse the dashboard heat, 
It's fucking freezing. 
 E                     B   A
Asleep in the backseat, 
                          G#m A
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty. 
                G#m A
I feel so damn empty.

            E             B   A
I curse the dashboard heat, 
It's fucking freezing. 
 E                     B   A
Asleep in the backseat, 
                          G#m A
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty. 
                G#m A
I feel so damn empty.
