Capo 2
D Em
It's a dark and weary world, get your head up out of your hands
G Em
You had the face of a child, you had your own style
D
Nothing seemed to go as planned
D Em
Swear you've seen it all, yeah, you swear you've seen 'em come and go
G Em
Seen a man you didn't meet die right at your feet
D Em
Before you played a Gospel show, gospel show
G D
You played a Gospel show
I hear twin fiddles playin' an old familiar melody
To a beat you can't unlock without a double stocked
Guitar shaped skeleton key
So drive on through the night, you're northern California bound
There's just something in the air keeps you wanting to go there
You never wanna turn around, turn around
You never turn around
Chorus:
A D
Night time on the Highway 1 outside a west coast town
A D
Got the lights in the dashboard off just to calm me down
G D G D
There's a sign for Half Moon Bay, I can hear the country station play
G Em A
It reminds me of a lonely girl, It's a dark and weary world
Em G D
It's a dark and weary world, it's a dark and weary world
Instrumental
A weary smile, it'll cover your pain but time's gonna stain your soul
You better watch what you reap once you're down too deep
You're bound to find yourself alone
I tried to light this fire but darkness consumed the sound
You can't carry dead weight the more you hesitate
The further it just brings you down, it brings you down
It just brings you down
Chorus
