F C Am G
[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

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
