Intro: E A E A
E
I'm stuck on a memory,
A E B A
Of you dancing in a backyard in North Jersey.
E
You're holding sparklers,
A E B A
And silhouetted by the porch lights on a summer evening.
C# B A
So, while I'm pulling my gloves off with my teeth,
C# B A
It occurred to me you used to be happy.
E B A
I curse the dashboard heat,
It's fucking freezing.
E B A
Asleep in the backseat,
Ab A
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty.
Ab A
I feel so damn empty.
E A E A
E
I keep thinking
A E B A
That I'll feel better when it's warmer across state lines.
E A E B A
Now I'm scraping ice off of the windshield with a piece of broken taillight.
C# B A
Oh, I wouldn't quite call it homesick
C# B A
but I keep seeing your face in the northbound traffic.
E B A
I curse the dashboard heat,
It's fucking freezing.
E B A
Asleep in the backseat,
Ab A
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty.
Ab A
I feel so damn empty.
B C# B
I'm gonna go to Georgia.
A
I'm gonna smile in the sun.
B C# B A
I'm gonna pick you some wild day-lilies,
And I'm gonna hold on to them.
F# A
I'm gonna keep them in my pocket
F# A
Till you let me back home.
F# A
I'm gonna go to Georgia,
F# A
And I'm coming back whole.
E B A
I curse the dashboard heat,
It's fucking freezing.
E B A
Asleep in the backseat,
Ab A
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty.
Ab A
I feel so damn empty.
E B A
I curse the dashboard heat,
It's fucking freezing.
E B A
Asleep in the backseat,
Ab A
Oh god, I'm shaking. I'm empty.
Ab A
I feel so damn empty.
