Thanks to Butch for posting the lyrics on his blog (and writing the song too!)
Verse 1
---------
E A E
Sunshine you heal just as much as you hurt.
A B
Regret in my veins and blood on my shirt.
A E
I sure must have had myself a personal best.
A E B
It takes filling my lungs up with smoke to get things off my chest.
Chorus 1
---------
A E
Crossing the border,
Ab C#m B
wasted again,
A B E
With her number on a Canadian ten.
Verse 2
---------
E A E
Oh mother, oh mother why do you complain?
A B
I grew up alright so don't be ashamed.
A E
My mouth has been cleaner and I may have lost all my faith.
A E B
'Til I believe in myself I can't give my conscience away.
Chorus 2
---------
A E
You're home with the dishes,
Ab C#m B
And I'm out with my friends,
A B E
Placing bets with a Canadian ten.
E / A E / / / / / A B / / / A / / / E / / / A / / / E / B /
La la la la... (chords as per verse)
Chorus 3
---------
A E
North of the border,
Ab C#m B
A sin is a sin,
A B E
When you pay with a Canadian Ten.
Verse 3
---------
E A E
I searched for a reason to not search for you.
A B
But I feel like there's no place I haven't been through.
A E
I told myself don't fall in love when you don’t know their name.
A E B
But my eyes are straight-wired to my heart and just bypass my brain.
Chorus 4
---------
A E
Sometimes I’m forgetful,
Ab C#m B
So I’ll start at the end,
A B E
And call the number on this Canadian ten.
A B E
And call the number on this Canadian ten.
