I paint my lips pillarbox red
Fm Cm
It reminds me of the country
D7 G7
Where I was born and bred
Cm G
Roots lie deeper than bones
Cm7 F
So back in time I go
Fm
Through the tobacco smoke veil
Cm
On the perfumed trail
D7 G7
Where only childhood knows
F
I lift my face
G
To feel the rain
Am
Everything's changed
G
Though it seems the same
F
The shallow hugs
G
The muted rage
Am
The weeping skies
G
The shadowless days
Dm G
I love and I hate this place
C F7
I ran away but I couldn't escape

Fm Cm
It reminds me of the country
D7 G7
Where I was born and bred
Cm G
Roots lie deeper than bones
Cm7 F
So back in time I go
Fm
Through the saloon bar doors
Cm
Onto the chewing gum floors
D7 G7
Where only childhood knows
F
I lift my face
G
To feel the rain
Am
Everything's changed
G
Though it seems the same
F
The sarcasm
G
The bitter remarks
Am
That pierce the chest
G
And wound the heart
F
The shallow hugs
G
The muted rage
Am
The weeping skies
G
The shadowless days
Dm G
I love and I hate this place
