[Verse 1]
Black crows [D]flying in your [C]wheat field[G][Em]
Babies cryin', [D]all you got's a paper
[C]shield[G][Em][G][Em]
It don't make [D]much sense [C]to you[D]
[Em]Who said it ha[D]d to?
[C]

[Verse 2]
[Em]Most folks [D]smile away
[C]the blues[G][Em]
I mean [D]I, I guess [C]they do[G][Em]
You never really [D]know for [C]sure
But I'm [D]surviving on [Em]this hunch that every
[D]body else is hurtin' [C]too[F]

[Verse 3]
[G]He was crazy
[F]Crazy but [Em]able
So he ex[Am]cused himself from
[G]cleaning up the [D]stable[F][G]
This is the [F]way [Em]that horses die
This is the [Am]way you learn to l[G]ie-
[D]By sacrificin[C]g the real
and forget[D]ting how to [Em]feal

[Verse 4]
[Em]I loved him like fir[D]e
[C]We bot[D]h had[Em] similar [D]burning
de[C]sires[D][Em]
He kept ex[D]pecting it all to
work [C]out down [D]here
[Em]I just hang on t[D]o holy fear

[G]Now [D]I k[C]now[D][C][F]
how far out I'm getting [E]here
But it's a [Am]dark night
[G]walk- the life [F]of fear
And I'm trying to choose [E]the words
[Am]That'll chase [G]away the bird[F]s
Good [D]God, just [E]hurry up and [Em]come [Am]down [F]here
