Milk Crates

[Intro] F Fadd4 F Fadd4 Like a dog tugging on a rope, F I don't even know-- (Spoken: Is that a train?)

[Verse 1] F Fadd4 F Fadd4 Like a dog tugging on a rope F C Fadd4 I don't even know where I'd go if they let go F In my selfish narrow mindedness Fadd4 They put up a chain-link fence F C Fadd4 Now there's nothing I can do but bark my head off

[Verse 2] F But we're not fucking playing Fadd4 I got these teeth for a reason F C Fadd4 I know that it's life or death, I can't forget it F I lie down and you kiss my forehead Fadd4 I tell you I'm just fucking exhausted from work F C I don't wanna get drunk, I don't wanna go out Fadd4 It feels like survival just isn't enough, is it? F Fadd4 F Fadd4

[Bridge] F The winter passes Fadd4 My jaw unclenches F C Fadd4 The ferns outside my window learn to open up

[Verse 3] F And there are things in your life Fadd4 that you were made to run away from F C Fadd4 But it's not your grief, or your pain, or any other kind of love F Fadd4 I let go of my hold on a happy ending, F when you're backed into a corner, there's no horizon C Fadd4 Where I once felt despair, now I feel free

[Chorus] F I put my trust in broken milk crates Fadd4 underneath the trestle by the vet's hall A call for help in Markal F I found your mouth under the blankets Fadd4 this might be the last night I can taste country duets and inhalants F I put my trust in broken milk crates Fadd4 underneath the trestle by the vet's hall A call for help in Markal F I found your mouth under the blankets Fadd4 this might be the last night I can taste country duets and inhalants

[Hook] (backup voice singing this with chorus) F Fadd4 No job, no place to get away from I've been to a world worth living in F No rent, no lies to memorize Fadd4 No fucked up world to drown out F Fadd4 No job, no place to get away from I've been to a world worth living in F No rent, no lies to memorize Fadd4 No fucked up world to drown out

[Outro] F Fadd4 No job, no place to get away from I've been to a world worth living in F No rent, no lies to memorize Fadd4 No fucked up world to drown out
