[Intro]  C

 C
Now you don't 
 Em                       G
Have a word to call this kind
        F
Of the year 
               C
And made you kneel 
               G
And beg it to turn you right

 C
Two dead birds 
 Em                 G
Underneath the headlights
        F              C
Every sound they ever made 
                  G
To call out they are alive

        F                C
Every piece of me that breaks 
                 G
Tryin ' to keep from the sight
     C
Of doubt

 F
Don't you doubt
      Am               C
Everybody's seen some winter
           G
Don't you take the dark 
     C
Way out

 Dm        F
Don't you doubt
C         Am                        C
Even your breath is breathin' for another one
           G
Don't you just take the dark 
     C
Way out

 C
Thin wind 
 Em                    G
Ringin' in the silver tines
          F                C
Yeah, it took you by the throat 
                   G
But it wasn't the killin' kind

     C
And now you don't 
 Em              G
Tell it like you used to
       F               C
Every day left in the dark 
               G
Is gonna come back to you

       F                  C
Every hope left in your heart 
               G
Is waitin' on what you'll do
       C
With doubt

 F
Don't you doubt
      Am               C
Everybody's seen some winter
           G
Don't you take the dark 
     C
Way out

 Dm        F
Don't you doubt
C          Am                    C
Even your blood is beatin' for another one
           G
Don't you just take the dark 
     C
Way out

 Dm         F
Don't you doubt
     C
Dou-oubt the reasons are dead 
              G
And they're growin' in the ground         
So why 

 F
Does it give 
Why'd it take
 C
Why the bitter kiss
        G
Why be mean
Why be anything
     
Just 
F
Be the man
Be the child
C
Be the cold midnight 
 G                           F
Soaked in the bones of this town

F
In the breath 
In the pink
        C                      G
In the honey taken from that green thing 
Given sweet

F
In the cold in the pour
        C
In the want in the wantin' 
      G
The sound even your own body knows

 F
All there is
See the gem
      C                         G
Your hands are lined with all that 
They have have
