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

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

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

was as free
as the freest
of the ones
who still flew
who still flew

Sam Quinn - Suite Motown

.........F.........................................Bb
i only feel like i'm asking when i'm asking

...........F...................................C
i'm only asking 'cause i don't have enough

............Dm
of these things that i want

.............Am
oh these things that i want

.........Bb....................C
i find i always use them up


i only feel like i'm crying when i'm crying
i'm only crying 'cause the tears ain't so much
i can't sit here all alone
i'm so scared when i'm at home
i'll find a world that's right for me


Bb..........................Gm...........................F
i can feel it when the lights come on in the city from my house

Bb.............................Gm..............................Am....Bb...Am...Bb
and i can feel it when the lights go down on me


i only feel like i'm slipping when i'm slipping
i'm only slipping 'cause it hurts in my blood
i can't change who i am
i don't have another plan
why did i ever try to lie?
i only feel like i'm lying when i'm lying
i'm only lying 'cause the truth hurts so much
i can smile through the pain
but i know it doesn't change
oh god i've torn out my insides
i can feel it when the lights come on in the city from my house
and i can feel it when the lights go down on me


it only feels like i'm asking when i'm asking
i'm only asking because i don't have enough of these things that i want
oh these things that i want
i find i always use them up

Capo II

D...D/C#...G/B...A*


D...................D/C#
once or twice to kill my pain and

G/B................A*
once to bring it back again

......Em....................C.................A
no I never leaned so heavy on a song

it's the losing end that brings you down
so broken and lonesome you won't be found
and you pray someday you go back there again


..............Bm................F#m
cause the cure is long in coming

.........G...................D
and it never lasts so long

...........F#m................Bm.......................A
guess a little was just a little too much to ask you for

maybe once or twice for the last time try
and once to let my feelings die
and I don't remember if we both survived

it's the losing end that brings you down
so broken and lonesome you won't be found
and you pray someday you go back there again

cause the cure is long in coming
and it never lasts so long
guess a little was just a little too much to ask you for

..........Bm..................F#m
always knew you'd be going

.............Em.......................D
though I did not know just when

...Em...............A.......................D..........D/C#
so help me Lord, get me stoned again
so help me Lord, get me stoned again


Bm..........F#m........................G.........................D
I see your face in the bleeding hearts that go too soon

F#m...............Bm...................A
I see you in the wreckage of the moon

cause the cure is long in coming
and it never lasts so long
guess a little was just a little too much to ask you for

always knew you'd be going
though I did not know just when
so help me Lord, get me stoned again
so help me Lord, get me stoned again
so help me Lord, get me stoned again

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!)
