Intro: E A E A

               E
I'm stuck on a memory,
       A                       
Of you dancing in a backyard in 
       E      B   A
North Jersey.
               E
You're holding sparklers,
        A                          
And silhouetted by the porch lights
      E              B    A
 on a summer evening.
              C#         B        
So, while I'm pulling my gloves 
          A
off with my teeth,
   C#                 B          
It occurred to me you used to be 
A
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               
That I'll feel better when it's 
               E           B    A
warmer across state lines.
         E           A        
Now I'm scraping ice off of the 
                    E            
windshield with a piece of broken 
            B   A
taillight.
C#             B          
Oh, I wouldn't quite call it 
   A
homesick
           C#          B           
but I keep seeing your face in the 
A
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#
I'm gonna pick you some wild 
   B          A
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
