Ninth Cloud

G     |3-2-0-0-3-3
Cadd9 |x-3-2-0-3-3
Em7   |x-2-2-0-3-3
D     |x-x-0-2-3-2

[Verse 1]

G              Cadd9       G
Look at me, so damaged and destroyed
                  Cadd9         G                Em7
with this world's plans and its ploys to take me out
G                Cadd9           G
I'm on a highway directly to the moon
        Cadd9           G                Em7
with no plans of stopping soon I'm leaving town

[Pre-Chorus]

G                              Cadd9    G
Them Christians are talking so often of coffins
   Cadd9         G               Em7
no heavens could top this moment now

[Verse 2]

   G                       Cadd9         G
My foot out the window, my flask halfway full
  Cadd9    G            Em7
I may have to pull over soon
  G                            Cadd9       G
I can't afford a motel but the floorboards will work well
         Cadd9            G             Em7
and I'll sleep there 'til tomorrow afternoon
    G                              Cadd9          G
And I'll get on the road again had another chance at fitting in
    Cadd9         G               Em7
but fitting in to kids like me is dying
      G                            Cadd9    G
And I know when I'm with you after one shot or 22
      Cadd9       G             Em7
and a cigarette I feel like I'm flying

[Chorus]

     G                         Cadd9   G
Them Christians are talking so often of coffins
   Cadd9         G               Em7
no heavens could top this moment now
     G                              Cadd9   G
I've searched and I've found to get to that ninth cloud
         Cadd9        G                      Em7      Em7
you must trek through some dark and troubled grounds
   G           Cadd9   G
So may we all, once or twice,
     Cadd9   G              D
once in this life just look around
G                           Cadd9           G
Usually I'm a wreck but the hard times were just a step
   Cadd9          G                Em7    Em7
to get to where I am on this ninth cloud

G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7

[Verse 2]

      G                          Cadd9        G
We're singing feeling good again just past 3:04am
        Cadd9            G              Em7
and I'm talking like the sun will never rise
        G                                       Cadd9        G
But the sun will crest the trees and bring this devil to his knees
      Cadd9        G               Em7    Em7
as it outlines the silver in these skies

[Chorus]

     G                         Cadd9   G
Them Christians are talking so often of coffins
   Cadd9         G               Em7
no heavens could top this moment now
     G                              Cadd9   G
I've searched and I've found to get to that ninth cloud
         Cadd9        G                      Em7
you must trek through some dark and troubled grounds
   G           Cadd9   G
So may we all, once or twice,
     Cadd9   G              Em7
once in this life just look around
G                           Cadd9           G
Usually I'm a wreck but the hard times were just a step
   Cadd9          G                Em7    Em7
to get to where I am on this ninth cloud
