No News From North

G                 D
Endless days and nights alone
C                       G
A free trade zone with the curtains 
drawn
G                       D        
And I’m a drunken mess winning 
                   C
bets on never seeing Boston again
G                           D
I’m tired as hell about this off and
 on
C                       G
And back and forth and home, then 
gone
G                      D    
And if I’m wrong then damn it, 
           C
condemn me now, please


[Bridge]

D             C
              Cause I can’t breathe…
G           D         C
without you  Without you
G           D        C
Without you… without you

[Verse 2]

G                              D
That track was long and that train 
was fast
C                            
And I stopped thinking back in 
  G
Halifax
G                       D    
And now I know that, I’ll never 
           C
drink alone with you again
G                           
I touched my feet to sand and 
   D
pavement salt
C                      G
Called the Midwest my home this fall
G                      D         
But it was never home, home’s 
      C
just a distraction I invent

D               C
               When I can make rent


[Chorus]

G                   D            
I’ll cover the cost of a flight 
                    C
for you to stay one night [2x]


[Verse 3]

G                              D 
Been tracing steps from months to
       C                     G
 years on stolen rides of tariff 
steel
G                       D    
Robbed the World Bank one of an 
                       C
affinity group or two
G                           D
Now my shade tree’s gone and my 
dried leave bed
C                       G
Is level grade for a parking deck
G                      D         
And my key chain’s as empty as my
      C
 mood

D               C
               God damn, I still 
can’t move


[Chorus]

G                   D            
I’ll cover the cost of a flight 
                    C
for you to stay one night [4x]
