lyrics

These Five Strings
(R. Cain 2008) Capo 1

(D) These five strings, those white (C) lines, and this old (D) bottle
Put a lot of miles (C) between your heart and (D) mine
Taking those (C) wrong turns on the (A) back roads leading (G) nowhere
It only (C) serves to (A) drive me far (D) away

These five strings those white lines and this old bottle
Hold me tighter than those rusty prison chains
It’s hard to be a man while I’m weight down by these shackles
I know you tried but you can’t set me free

Chorus
(Em) When you wake up tomorrow (D)
Take our picture off the wall
Give away my clothes and records
(C) Forget my name and (A) pray that I stay (D) gone

These five strings those white lines and this old bottle
Help pass the time and kill those memories
Of the lies I told, your nights alone and my heavy way of living
May the next in line not be a bit like me

Ch.
