Oooooooooooooh oh oooooooooh oh ooooooooooh

Verse I:
We took a trip down in 87'
We were lookin' for a place where we don't fear heaven
We got, got some guns, got some dogs
And just like them dogs, yeah the guns just get bigger
Looking to the town to show us what they got
Take you to the cabin yeah we'll show you what we got,
|Around here is
We got, space to do, just what you please |where the Intro
|Fill starts
Fmin Cmin |again.

If you never make it out. |
Fill: (C minor is played 4 times here.)
Verse II/Pre Chorus:
If I never stand on another corner
Tryin' hard to be a father
Let's be, let's be love.
If I never need again
I'll find that sleep again
Let's be, let's be love.
Took a trip down in 87'
we were lookin' for a place where we don't need heaven.

Oooooooooooooh oh oooooooooh oh ooooooooooh
Once you crawl in, you'll never come back again.
Oooooooooooooh oh oooooooooh oh ooooooooooh
(No guitar here...)
Once you crawl in, you'll never come back again.
Verse III:
If I never stand on another corner
Tryin' hard to be a father
Let's be, let's be love.
If I never need again
I'll find that sleep again
Let's be, let's be love.
No I never pray God reigns today.
No I never pray God reigns today.
No I never pray God reigns today.
No I never pray God reigns today.
Breakdown/Buildup thing: (C minor is played over and over again, tempo increases after
second bar, etc. Just listen to it :D you'll get it. There's also some bended notes here,
are just the 6th fret on the B string (or second string) being bent.)
Bridge (There's really only bass and electric piano here but if you want, the chords are
the same as any of the verses.):
If you catch us coming
Up about around the bend.
And if we step a little
Higher will we find it then.
There's gotta be something roaming
up about around the bend. (ooooh ooooh)
Chorus:
Cmin A#maj |Chorus fill

Oooooooooooooh oh oooooooooh oh ooooooooooh |again.

Once you crawl in, you'll never come back again.
Oooooooooooooh oh oooooooooh oh ooooooooooh
Once you crawl in, you'll never come back again.
