[INTRO]
[Am]

[VERSE]
You've got [Am]two bad eyes, you [Am]got 'em from your parents
And [Am]one bad leg, you [Dm]got it from the [Am]war
[Am]Three mistakes in [Am]bottles on a shelf yes
[Am]You can't wait to [Dm]go and [E]make some [Am]more

[VERSE]
If you [Am]sneak out now, they'll [Am]never know you're missing
Be[Am]fore they're wise, you [Dm]could be gone and [Am]back
[Am]While they stand guf[Am]fawing in the kitchen
You’re [Am]down the stair, and [Dm]leave the [E]screen un[Am]latched
[Dm]Leave that [E]door un[Am]latched

[PRE-CHORUS]
[F]Swallowed [C]up in [E]silence, holding all your breath now
[F]Wait for [C]that fa[E]miliar pull

[CHORUS]
[F]Somewhere in the night, a [C]man is standing by
With a [G]deal you won't be able to re[Am]fus[G/B]e [C] [E]
[F]No, you can't call him, but ex[C]pect your phone to ring
And [G]brother, you prepare yourself to
[Dm]Offer up what [E]you were born to [Am]lose

[VERSE]
You move [Am]down the block, see [Am]curtains hung in tatters
The [Am]windows lit - the [Dm]house is still a[Am]wake
The [Am]girl upstairs is [Am]crying like it matters
[Am]Will she bend or [Dm]will she [E]only [Am]break
[Dm]Just one [E]more mis[Am]take

[PRE-CHORUS]
[F]In no [C]time she's [E]disappearing through your fingers
[F]Slips a[C]way so [E]make it last

[CHORUS]
[F]Somewhere in the night, a [C]man is standing by
With a [G]deal you won't be able to re[Am]fus[G/B]e [C] [E]
[F]No, you can't call him, but ex[C]pect your phone to ring
And [G]brother, you prepare yourself to
[Dm]Offer [E]up

[BRIDGE]
What you [F]needed the [Am]most
Lord, he'll [F]make you a [Am]ghost
If you [F]do or if you [E]don't [Am]

[VERSE]
You've got [Am]two bad eyes, you [Am]got 'em from your parents
And [Am]one bad leg, you [Dm]got it from the [Am]war
[Am]Three mistakes in [Am]bottles on a shelf yes
[Am]You can't wait to [Dm]go and [E]make some [Am]more
So [Dm]go and [E]make some [Am]more

[CHORUS]
[F]Somewhere in the night, a [C]man is standing by
With a [G]deal you won't be able to re[Am]fus[G/B]e [C] [E]
[F]No, you can't call him, but ex[C]pect your phone to ring
And [G]brother, you prepare yourself to
[Dm]Offer [E]up

[CHORUS]
[F]Somewhere in the night, a [C]man is standing by
With a [G]deal you won't be able to re[Am]fus[G/B]e [C] [E]
[F]No, you can't call him, but ex[C]pect your phone to ring
And [G]brother, you prepare yourself to
[Dm]Offer up what [E]you were born to [Am]lose
