Em                C          G
We're televisions whose mouths and words
Em            C          G
Don't line up like they should
Em                    C          G
You're hard concrete, while I'm stuck on
          Em                C           G
The blood staining it and where it came from

[Pre-Chorus]
Em          C                         G
Coffee cups collect at the side of my bed
                 D                      Em
Red pins pushed through the places I've been
           C               G
I tie them together with a string
                 D                Em     C    G
The pattern just tells me, "Go to sleep"
               D
I should go to sleep

[Chorus]
   D                    Em           C          D
I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right
                       Em        C      D
I share my name with a stranger all my life
      Em     C     Am                   C
And I feel it all, Carolina in my blood

Run, brother, run

[Verse]
      Em                C     G
I was twenty-five when my dad died
   Em                 C          G
My arm's fell weak, my heart grew tired
    Em           C        G
And every girl I tried to kiss
           Em                C    G
Gives that look you did so I just chose to miss

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                C                 G
Find the greatest books flip to the end
              D                    Em
In those last lines you'll find my friends
              C                 G
Like flies on tape, I keep them close
                              D
We may look dead but move our toes

[Chorus]
   D                    Em           C          D
I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right
                       Em        C      D
I share my name with a stranger all my life
      Em     C     Am                   C
And I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
             G D Em
Run, father, run

[Verse]
             Am           D
I keep your things in my garage
              Em D G
I won't drive away
   Am        C Am                   C
I feel it all, Carolina in my blood
