🎸 Verse 1:
D      A      E                D
 You come alive in the heat, you ain't crossing state lines
     A       E               D
Stood up like a crepe myrtle, can't be killed or denied
    A           E              Bm
Throw a brick through the window, leave your mess at my door
      A     E           Bm
Lord knows sooner or later it'd wash up to shore

Lord knows sooner or later it'd wash up to shore

🎸 Verse 2:
D    A       E                  D
 You're laughing and smiling, drove my Jeep through the mud
     A        E                D
And your teeth and your tongue bright red from tiger's blood
    A       E           D
We were young for so long, seersuckers of time
     A      E           Bm7
Drank someone else's juice, left only the rind
     A      E            D
Drank someone else's juice and left only the rind


🎸 Chorus:
   A       E     D
And I held it like a penny I found
  A        E               Bm
It might bring me something, it might weigh me down
    A    E            Bm
You got every excuse but it's an eerie sound
     A      E             D   A  E  D  A  E
Oh, when that siren blows, rings out all over town


🎸 Verse 3:
D    A     E           D
 Named after a city you ain't never seen
    A      E             D
Spellbinding copperheads banging a tambourine
       A        E           Bm
And it's the kiss of death, but it's the only way out
     A     E                Bm
Galloped up to the mirror, looked her right in the mouth
     A     E                D   A  E  D  A  E
Galloped up to the mirror, looked her right in the mouth


🎸 Verse 4:
D   A         E         D
 I'd skated the surface, I'd left you alone
    A      E             D
By now truer words spoken like blood from a stone
    A       E              Bm
And it fills me with dread but I've learned to ignore
       A         E               Bm
The smell of dust that creeps up through the cracks in the floor
       A        E               D
The smell of dust it creeps up through the cracks in the floor


🎸 Chorus:
   A       E     D
And I held it like a penny I found
  A        E               Bm7
It might bring me something, it might weigh me down
    A    E            Bm7
You got every excuse but it's an eerie sound
     A      E             D
Oh, when that siren blows, rings out all over town
   A      E             D   A  E
When that siren blows, rings out all over town
