[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 G
I threw up this morning in Christiansburg, VA
Cadd9 G D
I drove down from PA, slept in my van
G
And I can still taste the whiskey
Cadd9 G
From the last fool that kissed me
Cadd9 G
And the people who miss me
D/F# G
I can count on one hand
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 G
He missed by a mile, a Paso Fino caballo
Cadd9 G
That girl in Ohio
D
With hair black as coal
G
She was charmed for a moment
Cadd9 G
By a circus clown poet
Cadd9 G D G
And, boy, did he blow it and she let him go
[Chorus]
Cadd9
Reckless hearts
Cadd9
The tattered and bruised ones
Cadd9
The slightly confused ones
G
The ones holding stools down in bars
Cadd9
Show up and find us
F Cadd9
And gently remind us
G
To not be ashamed of our scars
A
Or who we are
[Verse 3]
G
I've been saying I was sober
Cadd9 G
Since the sixth of October
Cadd9 G
But all that was over
D
When I heard him say
G
There's a friend you been missin'
Cadd9 G
With a fifth in the kitchen
Cadd9 G D G
We started sippin' and he faded away
[Chorus]
Cadd9
Reckless hearts
Cadd9
The tattered and bruised ones
Cadd9
The slightly confused ones
G
The ones holding stools down in bars
Cadd9
Show up and find us
F Cadd9
And gently remind us
G
To not be ashamed of our scars
A
Or who we are

[Outro]
G
So just live in the rhythm
Cadd9 G
And the rhymes when you get 'em
Cadd9 G
And the notes when you miss 'em
D
'Cause you drank all night long
G
In all of his runnin'
Cadd9 G
He showed me somethin'
Cadd9 G
That dyin' ain't nothin'
D/F# G
And I can't prove him wrong
