Southern State

Am          G                    
 We've seen good days in the past
C C/B

Am          G                  C
 One too many bottles shared 
                  C/B
beneath the underpass
Am        G                 C   
 It blows in this town, and oh, 
              F                
she'd love to walk you down the 
 Am              G
tracks she grew out of


[Pre-Chorus]
F           G                    
 So keep my name, I'm coming back
Am   Am/G

F            G                  
 The rumours in this town never 
Am          Am/G
seem to last
F             G              C  
 And she knew just enough to 
                F
fill her lungs and tell us off
       Am                          
 Leave gold in the hills for 
     F      G     G7
islands in the midwest


[Chorus]

C
Sorry I waited
Em
In this southern state
Am
I was seeing double
F
And you were running late
C
They were wasted
Em
Two looks on their face
Am
Staring at each other
F                    C C/B
Someday I'll get away

[Verse]

Am        F                  C  
 If I had warmer clothes I'd 
               G
wander down these frozen roads with 
you
Am        F              C  G/B
 Barely high enough to see
Am                 F              
 And slow, the darkness goes, and 
C                 Am
not a soul would even know
    F        G                 C
 If you were hanging next to me


[Verse]

Am           G                 C 
 She drew space between the 
 C/B
houses
Am            G             C  C/B
 Of all the faces you let in
Am                  G           
 But good things stand alone in 
C                 F
two-bit towns and broken homes
      Am                        
 When no-one waits to see what's 
 G
next


[Pre-Chorus]

F          G                    
 It's just two roads cut in half
Am  Am/G

F                 G              
 Dust still coats the shapes and 
Am         Am/G
photographs
F            G                 C
 And she was free at last of 
               F
living with an epitaph
       Am                   G    G7
 While you got old, she got fast


[Chorus]

C
 Sorry I waited
Em
 In this southern state
Am
 I was seeing double
F
 And you were running late
C
 They were wasted
Em
 Two looks on their face
Am
 Staring at each other
F                    C C/B
 Someday I'll get away
C
 Sorry I waited
Em
 In this southern state
Am
 I was seeing double
F
 And you were running late
C
 They were wasted
Em
 Two looks on their face
Am
 Staring at each other
F                    C C/B
 Someday I'll get away
