Capo 2

Intro: Am G F  

Verse 1:
 
G                   Am 
She wondered once about her luck 
            G               F 
Put out her match with a tear 
             F         C          G     C 
She said I'm bored to death and born to, 
                 F(add9) 
Look, you want way the hell away from here? 
          G                          Am 
He said you don't look that tough to me 
   G                F(add9) 
Leaned and lit a cigarette 
               F         C       G        C 
How 'bout you wait and see just what you regret 
Am        G        F 
Until we get what we get 
Am        G        F     
Until we get what we get 



    G                  Am     
They say it makes you stonger 
F               C      G  C      
 But first you gotta survive 
              F            G         C 
What didn't kill you will make you wish you died 
              F           G          Am      G    F 
What didn't kill you will make you wish you died 



Verse:
 
 G                         Am            
She struggled to read his knuckle tattoos 
 Am         G            F(add9) 
Beneath the ring and the scar 
         F         C           G          C 
But the left said love and the right read true 
                     G        F(add9) 
She said please say you got a car 
       G         Am 
It's parked out back 
       G             Am 
It's pointed out of state 
       Am         G           F   (add9)             
It's a recent acquisition we should probably ditch the plates 

    F                 C             G         C 
And it won't get you far enough to ever lose track 
     Am               G             F (add9)       
But yeah it's plenty car enough for never coming back 



    G                  Am     
They say it makes you stonger 
F               C      G  C      
 But first you gotta survive 
              F            G         C 
What didn't kill you will make you wish you died 
              F           G          Am      G    F 
What didn't kill you will make you wish you died 



Am, G, Fadd9 

Middle 8: 

Dm                    G 
Yellow duffel in the seat back yonder 
C                F 
Bunch of pretty junk I bought her 

G                  Am 
It's yours if you want 
 G                  Am 
Either to you or the flames 
       G            F 
But to me it's the same 

     F            C         G          C 
She said no thanks man my baggage is packed 
     F           C              G           F 
The name on my ankle with this knife in my back 

   F     C             G          C 
I know a place on the way out of town 
Am        G     F 
It's as good as burned down 
Am       G      F  
It's as good as burned down 
Am 
It's as good as... 


 
    G                  Am     
They say it makes you stonger 
F               C      G   C     
 But first you gotta survive 
              F G C     
What didn't kill you 
              F G C 
What didn't kill you  
              F            C         F       Am   G   F 
What didn't kill you will make you wish you died 



Outro: 
                 Am 
You call that a scar 
   G          C 
A bruise, A tear 
       F    G 
Pillowmarks 
     F 
Souvenirs 
 G         Am 
Sou-venirs
