I'm not to fond of the other version on here so here's a tab of how I like to play this song

CAPO: 6th Fret
Not sure what the chord names are so I'll just call them by what they would be if they
were played without a capo

C F C F Am
Before you, your mom and dad used to smoke in the Texas sun
C
They were young once too
C F C
And your mom she found Jesus
F Am C
While your old man stepped out and drew up his veins
Bridge:
C-F-C-F
C F C
It's quiet in the house of the old
F Am C
You can hear through grinding teeth, clocks taking their toll
C F C
Cause time has a mind of its own
F Am
Like our sun spinning around
C
It wont slow for you now
C Am
Oh I wanna catch in a song
F
Notes I don't hear yet
G
But I will when I'm gone
C F C
I've been pouring my heart up
F Am
Up through the floor boards
C
But you don't live here no more
C Am
Oh you wanna catch in a lens
F G
Color your green eyes don't see just yet
Bridge:
C-F-C-F
C
The horse men
F C
They all blow out their torches
F Am C
I can see you still shining out
C F C
But you sleep in a bed for a giant
F Am
While you wait for your love to come home
C F C
But you don't know, she's not coming back
C Am
Oh I wanna find out I'm wrong
F G
And every road leads us home
C Am F
Oh but I'll never know, 'cause I keep my eyes closed
G
And only go where I've been before
