Everything In Ruin Chords & Lyrics - Mark Erelli

[INTRO]
[G]

[VERSE]
There's a junked out truck [D]stuck in the mud
[Em]Down in the valley where the[C] low fields flood
[G]Every spring when the [D]river jumps its ban[Em]ks [C]

[VERSE]
A [G]few stubborn leaves [D]clinging to the bough
By the [Em]wing or wheel, the whole [C]deal's gone south
[G]Only ones left, got [D]no place else to go[Em] [C]

[CHORUS]
[D]Everything in [Em]ruin now
[C]Ruin now, [G]ruin now
[Am]Everything in [C]ruin now
Soon to [D]be re[G]newed

[VERSE]
All is still in the [D]chilly night
Save, [Em]one lone cricket fiddling [C]for his life
[G]Sawing off a shivery [D]waltz before the fro[Em]st [C]

[VERSE]
And it's [G]all gone to seed, [D]brown and spent
And I'm a-[Em]wondering where all the [C]innocence went
[G]Will it come back like a [D]redwing black[Em]bird's song [C]

[CHORUS]
[D]Everything in[Em] ruin now
[C]Ruin now, [G]ruin now
[Am]Everything in [C]ruin now
Soon to [D]be re[G]newed

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[D] [Em] [C] [G]
[Am] [C] [D] [G] [C] [G] [C]

[VERSE]
[G]Frost on windows, [D]filigreed
And I could [Em]use a little wild[C]card up my sleeve
[G]Just in case [D]Old Man Winter calls my [Em]bluff [C]

[VERSE]
Oh, it [G]smells like snow, the [D]sky's hearse black
[Em]Full moon cloudy as a [C]cataract
But [G]all I got to do, is [D]make it through these next few[Em] months [C]

[CHORUS]
[D]Everything in[Em] ruin now
[C]Ruin now, [G]ruin now
[Am]Everything in [C]ruin now
Soon to [D]be re[G]newed

[CHORUS]
[D]Everything in [Em]ruin now
[C]Ruin now, [G]ruin now
[Am]Everything in [C]ruin now
Soon to [D]be re[G]newed
