Tom: Fm
Fm Ab
There's an above-ground pool
Db
There in the backyard
Threw pennies in the whole time I was growing up
Fm Eb
Figured, if life really wished me well
Db
It would turn into a wishing well
Eb
And all our suffering would go
Fm
Too old at a damn young age
Eb
Bedroom like a bird sung cage
Db
On a new couch with each new Christmas
Db
Won't somebody do these dishes?
Fm
Sure as hell I was not the one
Eb
To come around when it came undone
Db
Put second on a winter hit list
All light just went missing
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab Eb Fm
Strong roots but damn these limbs, out on one
Ab
Cold nights, hard wind
Eb Fm
Came down in the yard and split
Kin and timber
[Chorus]
Db Eb Fm
Soouul lay it open
Db Eb Fm
Soouul lay it open
[Verse 2]
Fm
Eighteen when the madness stopped
Eb
In love with the runaways' daughters
Db
Each one with the same damn name
Db
Took care of them, forgot me
Fm
Sold gateway to friends who gone
Eb
Took shrooms in the night, we formed a
Db
Oath we would never take for granted
Db
Each other, this future
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab Eb Fm
Strong roots but damn these limbs, out on one
Cold nights, hard wind
Ab Eb Fm
Came down in the yard and split
Kin and timber
[Chorus]
Db Eb Fm
Soouul lay it open
Db Eb Fm
Soouul lay it open
Db
[Bridge]
Eb
Kin and timber
Fm
Bold, brave, the middle kid
Db Eb Fm
Ever since a child I've been soul searching
[Chorus]
Db Eb Fm
Soouul lay it open
Db Eb Fm
Soouul lay it open
Db Eb Fm
Soouul lay it open
Db Eb Fm
Soouul lay it open
[Outro]
