F
There's a river down in Nashville
Bb
Where the alcohol's so clean
Gm
It can wash away the sins
Bb
Of anyone but me
F
And if you're not at the table
Bb
Then you're probably the meal
Gm
Name goes higher on the menu
Bb
As your drinks begin to spill
F
And it's too humid in the morning
Bb
Her mascara starts to fade
Gm
Into the silk of all her pillows
Bb
Where the codine's set to lay
F
And when they wash away the garbage
Bb
Where that horror will remain
Gm Bb
And that red and orange special is burning
On that midnight train
F Gm (x2)
[Verse 2]
F
And if you try hard enough
Bb
Maybe you just might believe
Gm
Still know exactly who you are
Bb
Unitl you panic and can't breathe
F
But you're just sweating in the mirror
Bb
You're just melting in the sink
Gm
Like cheap trick birthday candles
Bb
Slow red flames burning into pink
F Gm (x2)
[Verse 3]
F
It is raining on the harbor
Bb
It is raining on the sea
Gm
I am rushing through the alleyway
Bb
I am almost free
F
You are toxic and so selfish
Bb
Like you are some sort of saint
Gm
Walking 'round the house and cussin'
Bb
Counting all the things you hate
F
Put a bullet in the TV
Bb
While you're screaming at the clouds
Gm
Passing by us moving overhead
Bb
When there's no one else around
F
I drink the poison when it's liquid
Bb
I drink the poison in your glass
Gm
Your kisses burn my tongue of feeling
Bb
Onion peels and fiberglass
F
It is raining on the cemetary
Bb
It is falling from the tree
Gm
There's detectives in the shadows
Bb
Taking notes on what I see
F
There's a broken moon ascending
Bb
Like a sword upon the scene
Gm
When there is no one there to give a fuck
Bb
And the midnight special is burning into pink
F Gm (x4)
[Bridge]
F
Static hits the wall
Drinking flights
Bb
When it's nice
When it's sunny
Gm
Smoke is billowing out of the cackling mouths
Bb
Telling jokes that are barely funny
F
People laughing anyway
Bb
Stuck in their jobs like bees and honey
Gm
I don't need your love to stay alive
Bb
I'll take my pride, and you can keep the money
F Gm (x2)
[Verse 4]
F
It's too humid in the evening
Bb
As your looks begin to fade
Gm
All the money in the world
Bb
Cannot take back what you said
F
And when they wash away the garbage
Bb
Only your memories will remain
Gm
And that red and orange special
Bb F
Is burning on that midnight train
