Ditches

C G C G C G C G D

[Verse 1]
Em                                  C
I got these stomach knots I can’t untie
          G                         D
Scared to take another step without falling
Em                     C
Don’t know if it’s me I hate
   G                              D
Or all the fucked-up choices that I have made
        C
I’m so desperate for a home
      D                    G
But I can’t stop myself from running
      Em                   D
I get wasted and I’ll hide away
      G
After 25 years
           C            D
Through my jaded bitter edge
     C   G    D
Just dry your tears
              C    G   Em
Cause there's more to life
C
Proving that you’re worth a damn
             D
When you’ve always been good enough

[Chorus]
C         G
Whoa-whoa-oh
C         Em
Whoa-whoa-oh
C         G
Whoa-whoa-oh
D
Whoa

[Verse 2]
      Em
I baptized my sins
       C
In the sweat of my sobriety
   G                               D
Of lonesome nights I spent by your side
    Em                    C
The madness it lingers, afraid i'm a stranger
     G
Just carve another notch
          D
Into this growing weary face
     C
The fingerprints of innocence
    D
Now laced with selfish lies
     Em
The time has run up

To feel sorry for yourself
     C
I’ve spent so long
           D
Holding my own two hands
      G
After 25 years
                        D
Through my jaded bitter edge
        C    G     D
But not everyone's cruel
    C          G         Em
Not everyone’s trying to hurt you
C
Proving that you’re worth a damn
           D
When you’ve always been good enough

[Chorus]
C         G
Whoa-whoa-oh
C         Em
Whoa-whoa-oh
C         G
Whoa-whoa-oh
D
Whoa

[Verse 3]
      C G Em
After 25 years
     C        G     D
I’ve traveled these roads
       C                                  D
Let my grave lay in between these ditches
             Em
And carry me home

[Chorus]
C         G
Whoa-whoa-oh
C         Em
Whoa-whoa-oh
C         G
Whoa-whoa-oh
D
Whoa
          G
Carry me home
