Use this intro for the first lines of the verses, you can here the way it is
played in the song. When you play it, don't pick, strum the entire thing.

It's the skin and bones that keep me on the road
The shoulderblades of a beast that haunts my soul
G D C
Wandering lonely and scared
G D C
I live the tragedy I shared


It's quick to drag you in but hard to shake
It gives but doesn't match how much it takes
G D C
Growing stronger and loud
G D C
I lived it but now I'm wanting out



Em C
I built the fence, I hung the sign
G D
Wine red letters said 'Keep in mind
C G
Where I been so don't come in'
Em C
But how long can you live in shame
G D
And drop a life long curse on your own last name
C G
The trouble is, I'm used to it

Intro x2


It's the questions that keep me turning back
To see those rumors turned to fact
G D C
Wandering lonely and scared
G D C
I live the tragedy I shared



Em C
I built the fence, I hung the sign
G D
Blood red letters said 'Keep in mind
C G
Where we've been so don't come in'
Em C
But how long can we live in shame
G D
And drop a life long curse on your own last names
C G
The trouble is, we're used to it
C G
The trouble is, we're used to it
C G
The trouble is, we're used to it

Intro x2

It's the tin and the board that keep me going home
But it's who I am that won't let me alone
G D C
Growing stronger and loud
G D C
Growing stronger and loud
G D C
Growing stronger and loud
