The Milk Carton Kids – Getaway
Capo I
C F
the shatter of the bottles would scare me something awful as a kid
C F
my fear, how it would harden and find a home in places that i hid
Dm G
i’d tear ‘em down and run away
DmF
but never found my getaway
C F
outside Tuscaloosa the time you thought you’d turned it all around
C F
remember how you used to think you could salvage anything you found
Dm G
you knew it then, you know it now
DmF
a rattled chain still rattles loud
Dm G C
in all those years of moving i was slowly losing all my names
Dm G Am F
no matter what i'd ruin it couldn't hold a candle to the pain
Dm G
my tears are real and all my own
DmF
pouring down there all alone
C F
the soft roll of the water reminds me of my father’s parting words
C F
“son, now don’t you bother looking for your place out in the world”
Dm G DmF
“the tide will roll through the waves, son, you'll find your getaway”
