Em C G
We're televisions whose mouths and words
Em C G
Don't line up like they should
Em C G
You're hard concrete, while I'm stuck on
Em C G
The blood staining it and where it came from
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G
Coffee cups collect at the side of my bed
D Em
Red pins pushed through the places I've been
C G
I tie them together with a string
D Em C G
The pattern just tells me, "Go to sleep"
D
I should go to sleep
[Chorus]
D Em C D
I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right
Em C D
I share my name with a stranger all my life
Em C Am C
And I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
Run, brother, run
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Em C G
I was twenty-five when my dad died
Em C G
My arm's fell weak, my heart grew tired
Em C G
And every girl I tried to kiss
Em C G
Gives that look you did so I just chose to miss
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G
Find the greatest books flip to the end
D Em
In those last lines you'll find my friends
C G
Like flies on tape, I keep them close
D
We may look dead but move our toes
[Chorus]
D Em C D
I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right
Em C D
I share my name with a stranger all my life
Em C Am C
And I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
G D Em
Run, father, run
[Verse]
Am D
I keep your things in my garage
Em D G
I won't drive away
Am C Am C
I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
