[Verse 1]
       C
I grew up pretendin' sticks were
        Am
Little guns
        C
I would point 'em at my dad, and
          Am
He'd get mad
               G              F
'Cause God forbid I hurt someone
                     C
I'd hurt anyone I could
Am                               G
Anyone who got too close, and anyone

 Who wouldn't look
        C
I was born into a one-hundred-year
  Am
Storm
         C
Foot of ice across Vermont
              Am                 G
And in that dark, and in that frost
              F
 A heart was formed
                C
Malcontented and unwarm
Am                              G
You were unsuspectin', not unwarned


[Chorus]
F                       C    Dm
That I'm the trouble ahead, that I
                Am
Scream in my sleep
F                       C
You're puttin' money on red, I'm a
      Am               G
Sure bet at a losin' streak
F                    C           Dm
I keep showin' you doors, but you
              Am
Can't open them up
F                            C
'Cause it gеts harder to see me the
  Am
Closеr you try to look


[Post-Chorus]
Am
I just live here, babe, but you're
        G              F
The one who decided to knock
C
You knocked


[Verse 2]
C                                Am
Have you ever stared directly at the
 Sun?
C
Have you ever shared some closeness
        Am
 So exposed
             G              F
To have it spit back by someone?
                      C
So, forgive me if I jump
       Am
At the rattle of your keys
              G
"Oh, are you leavin'?," "No, babe
 G              F
I'm just wakin' up"
          C
And now what?
         Am
I'm left starin' at the ceilin'
              G
Listin' reasons you should pack

All your shit up


[Chorus]
F                       C    Dm
That I'm the trouble ahead, that I
                Am
Scream in my sleep
F                       C
You're puttin' money on red, I'm a
      Am               G
Sure bet at a losin' streak
F                    C           Dm
I keep showin' you doors, but you
              Am
Can't open them up
F                            C
'Cause it gеts harder to see me the
  Am
Closеr you try to look



[Post-Chorus]
        Am
I just live here, babe, but you're
 G                    F
The one who decided to knock
    C
You knocked


 Dm  Am  F  C
 Dm  Am  F  C
 C

[Bridge]

I'll be gone so long before the
Anger comes
         C
I'll be only what you've known of me
       Am
 'Til now
           G
Oh, how I hope you're moving on


[Chorus]
F                       C    Dm
That I'm the trouble ahead, that I
                Am
Scream in my sleep
F                       C
You're puttin' money on red, I'm a
      Am               G
Sure bet at a losin' streak
F                    C           Dm
I keep showin' you doors, but you
              Am
Can't open them up
F                            C
'Cause it gеts harder to see me the
  Am
Closеr you try to look



[Post-Chorus]
        Am                      G
I just live here, babe, but you're
The one
        Am                      G
I just live here, babe, but you're
The one
        Am                      G
I just live here, babe, but you're
The one
