[Intro]
B


[Verse 1]
             B
She said her mom lives
       E       B    E
on the Hampton Shore
        B
And her dad reenacts
    E     F# E
the Civil War
G#m
   But she doesn't ever
E              B   E B E
talk to him anymore


[Verse 2]
    B
Curious but smart
 E            B  E
enough not to ask
      B
Right now let's leave
    E             F#  E
the ghosts in the past
G#m
   Besides you'll keep those
 E                     G#m F# E
skeletons until you're ash
             G#m F# E F#
until you're ash


[Chorus 1]
           B
We'll keep fighting and
     F#           C#m
keep trying We'll have our
                   E
poor excuse by the morning
              B
I know you're fine here
               F#
dressed to the nines dear
              C#m
But you'll be back in your
                   E
sober shell by the weekend
                 B   E B E
So never go back home


[Verse 3]
         B
We could drive into
    E       B   E
the Georgia heat
    B
And drown in sweaty
E
drinks for a couple
   F#   E G#m
of weeks     And talk
                E
through our obligations
            B   E B E
we'll never keep


[Verse 4]
      B
Black powder and
  E               B   E
humidity keep us awake
      B
Noisy trees keep us
     E         F#     E
from thinking straight
G#m
   But we're not trying to
E                 G#m F# E
think straight anyway
                  G#m F# E F#
think straight anyway


[Chorus 2]
           B
We'll keep fighting and
     F#           C#m
keep trying We'll have our
                   E
poor excuse by the morning
              B
I know you're fine here
               F#
dressed to the nines dear
              C#m
But you'll be back in your
                   E
sober shell by the weekend


[Chorus 3/Outro]
                 B
So never go back home
                   E
Stay close to your fears
            B
It keeps us real it
         F#
keeps us clear
                   C#m
But then we'll dry out
                     E
and with hats in our hands
                E
We'll head back north
                B  E B E
smiling when we can
                B  E B E
smiling when we can
                B  E B E
smiling when we can
                B  E B E
smiling when we can
                B
smiling when we can
