Em

[Verse]
   Em                      Em
He left the morning after, panicked 
and confused
    Am                          
The night, it was a blur but his 
 B
knuckles, they were bruised
    Em                             
The sign just flipped to open as he
 G                 C
 stumbled from the storm
  Em                B7            
A pack of smokes, a lighter that 
  Em
he stole out of her drawer

[Chorus]
G           Em
Oh, you get colder
        Am  B7       Em
You get old-er every day

[Interlude]
Em

[Verse]
Continues after the ad
          Em                  
In the in back of El Ranchero, 
     Em
collecting all the scraps
  Am                          B
A coaster with a number and a dented
 baseball bat
          Em                       
He dialed unfamiliar digits, maybe 
G         C
deep into Durango
          Em           B7         
There's a city made of tin cans 
    Em
and another made of gold

[Chorus]
G           Em
Oh, you get colder
        Am  B7       Em
You get old-er every day

[Verse]
        Em                         
They're searching high and low for 
  Em
a place to call home
     Am                B7
From Tecate to Bisbee, Tucson to 
Jerome
    Em                        
The whippoorwills awaken as he 
 G               C
loathes another flaw
   Em            B7            Em
No family of his own, just the ones 
that he forgot

[Chorus]
G           Em
Oh, you get colder
        Am  B7       Em
You get old-er every day

[Chorus]
G           Em
Oh, you get colder
        Am  B7       Em
You get old-er every day
