[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Em][F][Am]
[F][Em][F][Am]

[Verse 1]
Got [Am]an
earthquake shack near Elbe.
Got a [F]garden of dyin' cars.
[Em]Covered up deep in the [F]mud of
[Am]the powerline road.

[Verse 2]
And at [Am]night I can hear the lockjaw,
And [F]the swagger of the devil's tongue.
[Em]Com in' on down from the w[F]ires
of [Am]the powerline road.

[Verse 3]
[F]Sayin' that tomorrow's just
a cheap [Am]shot at today.
And [F]that we've gone beyond
our [Em]reckoning.[F]
And if we don't face the troubles now,
our fam[Am]ilies will betray.
And [F]that's the one good
reason left to [Em]give.[F]
And it's [Am]almost wisdom.
[F][Am]

[Verse 4]
[F]
[Am]Geneva took the kids back home,
Never [F]heard from her again.
[Em]That's back when I [F]worked
all them [Am]12- hour days.
Now I idle here wickedly,
right [F]through the thick and thin.
[Em]Never to [F]believe what
I can[Am]not live.

[Verse 5]
[F]Knowin' that tomorrow's just
a cheap- [Am]shot at today,
And [F]that we've gone
beyond our reckoning.
[Em]And [F]if we don't face the troubles now,
our fam[Am]ilies will betray.
[F]They'll take the one good reason

[Interlude 1]
left to give.
[Em][F][Am][F][Em][F]
[Am]

[Verse 6]
I was [Am]drunk on her suspicions,
And a [F]fifth of Early Times.
I [E]went down into El[F]be just
to pick a [Am]fight.
And there behind the laundry house,
was [F]Geneva in a car
She [Em]opened the [E]front door
[F]and shouted to the night.
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[F]Shouted that tomorrow is the
[Am]last chance for today.
[F]Shouted soon we'll have our
[Em]reckoning.[F]
Shouted that the trouble here
leaves us [Am]nothin' to betray.
And [F]nothin' is the one
thing left to [Em]give.[F]
And it's [Am]almost [F]wisdom.
[Am]Almost [F]wisdom.
[Am]Almost [F]wisdom.
[Am]Almost wisdom.
