Jason Isbell - Codine

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

G.........D.........................Em...........C
if there's one thing I can't stand
it's this bar and this cover band
trying to fake their way through "castles made of sand"
well that's one thing I can't stand

if there's one thing I can't take
it's the sound that a woman makes
about 5 seconds after her heart begins to breaks
that's one thing I can't take

Bm............................................C
she should be home by now but she ain't
and I should've gone by now but I can't

cause one of my friends has taken her in and given her codine
one of my friends has taken her in and given her codine

them eyes as big as stars
when I saw you behind the bar
I guess that's the way to keep on smiling where you are
girl those eyes are as big as stars

it sounds funny when you say my name
it's like you're chewing on a foreign thing
you won't get to sleep till dawn if it don't rain
it sounds so funny when you say my name

you oughta come home tonight but you won't
I wish we knew how to fight but we don't

one of your friends has taken you in and given you codine
one of your friends has taken you in and given you codine

Bm.......................C
darlin I'm not one to judge

..........G.........................................D
but if I was then I'd say you don't look so good
got no answers of my own
but with you gone this place looks bigger than it should

if theres two things that I hate
it's having to cook and trying to date
bustin' ass all day to play hurry-up and wait
that's a few things that I hate

if I call and I ain't drunk
this old boat will still be sunk

cause one of my friends has taken her in and given her codine
one of my friends has taken her in and given her codine
one of my friends has taken her in and given her codine
one of my friends has taken her in and given her codine
one of my friends has taken her in and given her codine
one of my friends has taken her in and given her codine
