Rocking Chair

G                                         Bm
I was sittin in the rocking chair by the side of the house
      C                             Am
Where streetlight stars and all the highway cars
                                  G
Claps and it drips on your window
 G
I'll get something to eat, but all these spaces I meet
       Bm
Seem so hypnotizing
              C            Am       G
These eyes are exits to be


[Chorus]
    Bm
And things ain't what they used to be
         Am
Got this flickering heart set out after me
      G                  B                   Em
If my mind was a poem, I burned it up all before
     Am                     G            C
If I drink some more well I think I might drown
Am                        G             C
Slipping in silence as my heart it burns out
           Am                    G           C
I find the devil inside me and I nail em back down
     G
Whoa!

[Solo]

[Verse 2]
        G                                        Bm
And the days didn't come around, shivered at the sight
                C                Am                                    G
Finally looking out these hoping eyes , all strings pulled put me aside
     G                                Bm
I'll slowly die for my sins swallow my sins whole
                     C                     Am            G
Cause eyes they were bigger than they ever were ohhhhh


[Chorus]
    Bm
And things ain't what they used to be
         Am
Got this flickering heart set out after me
      G                  B                  Em
If my mind was a poem, I burned it up all before
     Am                     G            C
If I drink some more well I think I might drown
Am                        G             C
Slipping in silence as my heart it burns out
           Am                    G           C
I find the devil inside me and I nail em back down
     G
Whoa!
