Jason Isbell - Codine
G...D...Em...C...
G.........D.........................Em...........C
if there's one thing I can't standit'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

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

Under those church house bells

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

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
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

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

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
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 Comments Section of this Blog...
...had gotten completely out of control and something had to be done. I really enjoy reading the comments by folks, but for some time they have gone to the wayside because of the enormous amount of advertisements that starting filling each post. So tonight, with the help of some Highland Brewing Company Gaelic Ale and the new Travel By Sea album, I decided to clean out all of the crap and leave only the "real" posts, with their wealth of knowledge and insight. But in order to restore the comment section back to its original glory, I had to make some changes. You will no longer be able to make a comment if you are not signed into a google account. I did this to try and lessen the number of Japanese and Russian advertisers taking over my blog, but I realize this may also cut down on the amount of legitimate feedback since not everyone has a google account. So unfortunately, if you want to comment, you will need a free google account. And once you have said account, you can then start to "follow" (google equivalent of a facebook "like") my account and be one of my "followers"!
I want to thank everyone who has left me some feedback in the comment section of this blog. I apologize for ignoring many of the comments for so long because I thought that everything coming in was sent to me by some Japanese robot pornographer. I realize now that not all of you are Japanese robot pornographers and that there are some actual fans and I really appreciate that. Thank you for all the praises and criticisms, and I will try to work out some of the requests made. I started this blog a few years back as a way to keep track of all the songs I was tabbing out. I never thought it would be a helpful resource to so many people, and I'm glad to know that people other than myself are getting enjoyment out of it.
Once again, thank you for reading and commenting on my blog. If you have any ideas, suggestions, well-wishes, reminders, praises, criticisms, news, crude jokes, or any additional information you want to share, you can leave it in the newly renovated comments section!! (The first person to advertise Viagra gets a Snickers bar!)
