[Verse 1]
        D
There’s never a star in this sky
                     A
Never a boat in this sea
Only the voice of a thousand lies
G                        D
Choking the truth out of me
D
Until I’ve fallen immune to her lies
                                     A
Or learned to turn a deaf ear to her pleas
I will never begin to be satisfied
       G                  D
She’ll never again let me be

[Verse 2]
              A
Don’t let her turn your temperance
G                        D
Away from the simple and sound
            G        A      D
Or she will damn you darkly down
       D                       A
At the bottom of the bottle it makes no difference
G                     D
If I keep drinkin’ or drown
        G     A                             D
Cause I can’t go much lower than I am right now

[Chorus]
       G              D
By the time I find my home
            A                D
I’ll be all scars and broken bones
               G                D
A head full of lies, a heart of stone
             G              A             D
Voice like a freight train’s cold whistle moan

[Verse 3]
         D
No, no I cannot promise nothing
       G               D
That I cannot know for sure
            D
I won’t say never or forever
       A
I have told those lies before
             D
Please don’t ask me to proclaim my love
        G                 D
That my love for you will grow
       G         D
That I desire to love you ‘til I die
           A               D
Ain’t that all you need to know

[Verse 4]
         D
But your desires burn like fires
          G               D
Then they quickly flicker down
            G                   D
And all the while your constant smile
           A                   D
Will never show the fires went out
              D
And when they do you won’t come home one night
           G             D
And you’ll leave me all alone
         G          D
So don’t tell me of desire my love
        A                  D
Tell me true, you’ll never go

[Chorus]
           G              D
And by the time I find my home
            A                D
I’ll be all scars and broken bones
               G                D
A head full of lies, a heart of stone
             G              A             D
Voice like a freight train’s cold whistle moan

[Outro]
            G              D
Yeah by the time I find my home
            A                D
I’ll be all scars and broken bones
               G                D
A head full of lies, a heart of stone
             G              A             D
Voice like a freight train’s cold whistle moan
