Use this intro for the first lines of the verses, you can here the way it is
played in the song. When you play it, don't pick, strum the entire thing.
It's the skin and bones that keep me on the road
The shoulderblades of a beast that haunts my soul
[G]Wandering l[D]onely and s[C]cared
[G]I live the t[D]ragedy I s[C]hared
It's quick to drag you in but hard to shake
It gives but doesn't match how much it takes
[G]Growing str[D]onger and l[C]oud
[G]I lived it b[D]ut now I'm w[C]anting out
[Em]I built the fence, I [C]hung the sign
[G]Wine red letters said 'K[D]eep in mind
[C]Where I been so don't c[G]ome in'
[Em]But how long can you l[C]ive in shame
[G]And drop a life long curse on your o[D]wn last name
[C]The trouble is, I'm u[G]sed to it
Intro x2
It's the questions that keep me turning back
To see those rumors turned to fact
[G]Wandering l[D]onely and s[C]cared
[G]I live the t[D]ragedy I s[C]hared
[Em]I built the fence, I h[C]ung the sign
[G]Blood red letters said 'K[D]eep in mind
[C]Where we've been so d[G]on't come in'
[Em]But how long can we l[C]ive in shame
[G]And drop a life long curse on your[D] own last names
[C]The trouble is, we[G]'re used to it
[C]The trouble is, we[G]'re used to it
[C]The trouble is, we[G]'re used to it
Intro x2
It's the tin and the board that keep me going home
But it's who I am that won't let me alone
[G]Growing st[D]ronger and [C]loud
[G]Growing st[D]ronger and [C]loud
[G]Growing st[D]ronger and [C]loud
