It's the skin and bones that keep me on the road
The shoulderblades of a beast that haunts my soul
G D C
Wandering lonely and scared
G D C
I live the tragedy I shared
It's quick to drag you in but hard to shake
It gives but doesn't match how much it takes
G D C
Growing stronger and loud
G D C
I lived it but now I'm wanting out
Em C
I built the fence, I hung the sign
G D
Wine red letters said 'Keep in mind
C G
Where I been so don't come in'
Em C
But how long can you live in shame
G D
And drop a life long curse on your own last name
C G
The trouble is, I'm used to it
Intro x2
It's the questions that keep me turning back
To see those rumors turned to fact

Wandering lonely and scared
G D C
I live the tragedy I shared

C G
Where we've been so don't come in'

But how long can we live in shame
G D
And drop a life long curse on your own last names

The trouble is, we're used to it
C G
The trouble is, we're used to it
C G
The trouble is, we're used to it

It's the tin and the board that keep me going home
But it's who I am that won't let me alone

Growing stronger and loud

Growing stronger and loud
G D C
Growing stronger and loud
