D..........G....................C

well they say that your paintings

D........G.................C

are the work of an untrained mind

D...G........C

unlike any image

D.......G...............C

in the eyes of the unconfined

so I stare at your still life

as if it were wild

I look for your blues

in the natural light

well I see your collective

and you put up on display

with the people all around you

and the people who those other people pay

to stare at your still life

as if it were wild

to look for your blues

in the natural light

we stare at your still life

as if it were wild

we look for your blues

in the natural light

What's there to go back to

..............D............................A

If you had nothing to start out with

A....................................F#m

All my daddy left me was a name

............................D.......A

And a mouth full of bad teeth

But Odelia honey I'll be fine
If you meet me out on Friday night
I know Christian girls know what's wrong
But that doesn't mean they always have to do what's right

.....................................Bm
Save your money for the weekend

.............D...........................Bm.......D

And we'll dance through the fire

..........Bm.................D.................................F#m

You get one chance to make it through this life alive

....Bm.................D

We ain't got far to fall

................Bm...........................D

So lift your glass and we'll bet it all

....................Bm.........................D

Honey there's got to be some hell somewhere

..................E

waiting to be raised

Your family wants to condemn me
For the sins they commit themselves
But let them whisper dirty little secrets
Under those church house bells

And Odelia honey let it be known
I'd never tell you a lie
So if what I want to do is a sin
God better cover his eyes

Save your money for the weekend
And we'll dance through the fire
You get one chance to make it through this life alive
We ain't got far to fall
So lift your glass and we'll bet it all
Honey there's got to be some hell somewhere
waiting to be raised

So scrape together all of your pennies
Put on your favorite dress
And meet me down in the old part of town
For some excess

And Odelia honey I can't say
What's waiting for us up above
All I know is Southern girls are sweeter
'Cause they're full of Jesus' love

Save your money for the weekend
And we'll dance through the fire
You get one chance to make it through this life alive
We ain't got far to fall
So lift your glass and we'll bet it all
Honey there's got to be some hell somewhere
waiting to be raised

E.....................G#m...A

Lonely is a town

.......E...................G#m...A

On a night like this

...............E..........................G#m....A

Where the city moans like a neon sign

.....G#m.............................A

Just flickering to try and stay lit

And the moon looks like a hole
Cut out of the sky
And shining through is a beacon of light
Somewhere from the other side

......E.............G#m
The ghosts are out

........F#m......................A

Their dancing among the living

.........E.................................G#m

If you listen you can hear them howl

.......F#m...........A

And I feel like an orphan

..............F#m

Wanting to know

............A

Where is home

I've been drug through the churches
Felt trapped like a dog on a chain
You can run as far as you want to
But something's pulling you back again

Because lonely is a town
When your floating through space on a stone
And nobody knows where we're headed
Maybe back to where we belong

The ghosts are out
Their dancing among the living

If you listen you can hear them howl

And I feel like an orphan

Wanting to know

Where is home

B.........................G#m
The wind only blows

B.................................G#m

'Cause it's got nowhere to go

.............F#m......A

To call its own

You don't need a soothsayer
To tell you how this life's going to go
It starts just like you remember it
And how it ends nobody's going to know

But your momma, she'll always be your momma
No matter what kind of trouble you get in
And your daddy may have never told you that he loves you
But it doesn't mean he never did.

The ghosts are out
Their dancing among the living

If you listen you can hear them howl

And I feel like an orphan

Wanting to know

Where is home

I wanna know

Where is home
