Fm                            Ab
  There's an above-ground pool
                      Db
There in the backyard

Threw pennies in the whole time I was growing up
Fm                                      Eb
Figured, if life really wished me well
                                  Db
It would turn into a wishing well
                           Eb
And all our suffering would  go

Fm
Too old at a damn young age
Eb
Bedroom like a bird sung cage
Db
On a new couch with each new Christmas
Db
Won't somebody do these dishes?
Fm
Sure as hell I was not the one
   Eb
To come around when it came undone
Db
Put second on a winter hit list

All light just went missing


[Pre-Chorus]
Ab       Eb                    Fm
Strong roots but damn these limbs, out on one
                    Ab
Cold nights, hard wind
     Eb                     Fm
Came down in the yard and split

Kin and timber


[Chorus]
Db  Eb     Fm
Soouul lay it open
Db  Eb     Fm
Soouul lay it open


[Verse 2]
Fm
Eighteen when the madness stopped
Eb
In love with the runaways' daughters
Db
Each one with the same damn name
Db
Took care of them, forgot me

Fm
Sold gateway to friends who gone
Eb
Took shrooms in the night, we formed a
Db
Oath we would never take for granted
Db
Each other, this future


[Pre-Chorus]
Ab     Eb                     Fm
Strong roots but damn these limbs, out on one

Cold nights, hard wind
Ab   Eb                     Fm
Came down in the yard and split

Kin and timber


[Chorus]
Db  Eb     Fm
Soouul lay it open
Db  Eb     Fm
Soouul lay it open

Db

[Bridge]
        Eb
Kin and timber
             Fm
Bold, brave, the middle kid
Db              Eb                   Fm
   Ever since a child I've been soul searching


[Chorus]
Db  Eb     Fm
Soouul lay it open
Db  Eb     Fm
Soouul lay it open
Db  Eb     Fm
Soouul lay it open
Db  Eb     Fm
Soouul lay it open


[Outro]
                        Ab
There's an above-ground pool
                     Db
There in the backyard

Threw pennies in the whole time I was growing up
Fm                                     Ab
Figured, if life really wished me well
                             Db
It would turn into a wishing well
