Getaway Chords

(ver. 2)
The Milk Carton Kids
Capo I  



   C                                               F
the shatter of the bottles would scare me something awful as a kid

   C                                               F
my fear, how it would harden and find a home in places that i hid
          Dm   G
i'd tear 'em down and run away
        DmF
but never found my getaway


   C                                               F
outside Tuscaloosa the time you thought you'd turned it all around

   C                                               F
remember how you used to think you could salvage anything you found
          Dm   G
you knew it then, you know it now
        DmF
a rattled chain still rattles loud

Dm              G           C
in all those years of moving i was slowly losing all my names
Dm               G           Am       F
no matter what i'd ruin it couldn't hold a candle to the pain
          Dm   G
my tears are real and all my own
        DmF
pouring down there all alone


   C                                               F
the soft roll of the water reminds me of my father's parting words

   C                                               F
'son, now don't you bother looking for your place out in the world'
          Dm   G           DmF
'the tide will roll through the waves, son, you'll find your getaway'
