This is a great band, so I figured Id try to figure some of their songs out. The
chords are at the top here if you want to strum along to it, the tab is at the bottom.

D A | G A | x4
WITH VERSE LEAD:
D A G A
We barely knew each others names, yet talked for hours.
D A G A
Sharing drinks on the back porch on that cold december day.
D A G A
And its funny how times flies when your lost in a

pair of hazel eyes, watching the sunrise.
WITH PRE-CHORUS LEAD:
F#m G A D
Now Im taking an hour drive to this hospital just to watch you
(D) A G
die and I cant grip this steering wheel.
F#m G A D
And Id dare the optimist to find the good that came out of this
(D) A G
come Im at a loss for words.
CHORUS:
Bm G D A
And I hear those angels knocking at your door sweety,
Bm G D A
dont let them in. No, dont you dare open.
Bm G D A
Are you tired of breathing heavily when youre laying in bed at night,
Bm G D
trying to sleep? Well ill let you go if youre suffering.
D A | G A | x2
WITH VERSE LEAD:
D A G A
The weight is sliding off your bones and your
D A G A
hairs slowly getting thin, leaving wrinkles in your skin.
D A G A
The doctors said go pack your things, so we
D A G
found you a wooden home, to spend the rest of your days alone.
WITH PRE-CHORUS LEAD:
F#m G A D
Now Im taking an hour drive to this hospital just to watch you
(D) A G
die and I cant grip this steering wheel.
F#m G A D
And Id dare the optimist to find the good that came out of this
(D) A G
come Im at a loss for words.
