Artist: Tyler Childers
[VERSE 1]
[D]I flung the door open and let the heat rise
[G]To heat up the world because I thought it was mine
[D]And all the while all my plans froze inside
[A]Because there’s only so [A/B]much to go roun[D]d
[D]And it took me some tries and a whole lot of kindlin’
[G]when the lesson arrived it only took me a minute
[D]to learn there’s some things better off freezing
[A]I can tell you a [A/B]few that I’ve fo[D]und
[VERSE 2]
[G]Hate is a thing that could poison your veins
[D]And get in your eyes when you’re sweatin’ on stage
[A]Shiftin’ around 4 o’clock on the wall
[G]tells you its almost ove[D]r [D7]
[G]Bands that keep rollin’ and times for the birds
[D]That chirp in your ears all the rumors they heard
[A]Flying above all the good in this world
[G]Shittin’ on c[A]attle n’ c[D]lover
[VERSE 3]
[D]Now when I was a young boy I thought I could track
[G]And an old timer sat down and wrenched me a sack
[D]And he told me all of the knowledge I lacked
[A]on an ordinary old t[A/B]hing called a [D]snipe
[D]He picked me up on a Friday and he dropped me in Charlie
[G]Told me when he’d be back and went off to party
[D]And I sat on the hill like a Jeremiah Johnson
[A]And I froze my dumb [A/B]ass off all n[D]ight
[VERSE 4]
[D]And that’s the way that I feel when I look at our past
[G]And the handshakes you gave me if your calling them that
[D]And the snickers you tried to pass off as laughs
[A]And the way your eyes n[A/B]ever met mi[D]ne [D7]
[VERSE 5]
[G]Paranoia’s a thing that you’re makin’ when sleep
[D]Ain’t a thing you recall ain’t a habit you keep
[A]One old boy’s nightmare is another fools dream
[G]It’s all in the way that you hold h[D]er [D7]
[G]Hotels are lonely I reckon I’d know
[D]I’ve spent many nights in between shows
[A]Watching as paint dries on the wall
[G]all the boogers that’re [A]just painted ov[D]er
[VERSE 6]
[D]Life reminds me of a card game you played as a kid
[G]Where you laid down the deck til you got to the end
[D]Early on there’s a joker got lost ‘neath the fridge
[A]Over time all the q[A/B]ueens moved in with h[D]im
[D]And I’d say the boy had him an absolute ball
[G]But he ruined the card game for all us involved
[D]And I let it eat at me like kudzu in Georgia
[A]I hope it don’t [A/B]do that ag[D]ain
[D]I flung the door open and let the heat rise
[G]To heat up the world because I thought it was mine
[D]And all the while all my plans froze inside
