B5      D5   A5  B5         D5  A5
well, i never,   i never saw
B5          D5  A5  B5          D5  A5
anybody move        like that before

Em        C             A                Em
why do we spend so much time here on the floor
        C         A
looking up like i did before
Em         C      A              Em
your intoxicating movement ate a way
      C            A      C
at my sad eyes and my headache

  i never,   i never thought
B5     D5     A5  B5     D5    A5
i'd be falling,   i'd be caught

Em      C          A            Em
i see a bone and a straw in the dirt
             C               A
white nevada light, i sqint against his shirt
Em          C                A       Em
my sleeping pills melted and i sleep fine
                C              A          C
the tears on my shoulder won't keep me up tonight

Em  C  A  C

Em                  C      A           C
the snake around my finger starts to unwind

soak up the weather,   suck up the sun
B5        D5   A5  B5        D5  A5
into your bones,   then move on

Em      C           A           Em
i see a snake and a girl in the snow
             C                 A
white nevada light, i feel the itch to go
Em              C        A           Em
the tears on my shoulder freeze then boil
           C          A                  C
i wouldn't be here if not for your snake oil
