Am                F
 Marianne I don't wanna wait
C                          G
 The chapel's full but the preacher's late
        Am                F               E7
There's flies around our cake, shut the door
Am                    F
 My daddy came from a different world
C                       G
 I knew enough when his lips curled
Am          F       C    G
 Nobody visits anymore

[Chorus]
Em                          F
 I watched the faces for a long time
Em                           F
 I filled the poison to the water table line
       C                   C/B
I know there would fall the grace of God
Am                  Am/G              D7/F#
Still feels good to curse the odds of knowing what to do
E7                       Am
 With this old town and you

[Interlude]
Am F C G (x2)

[Verse 2]
Am               F
 LBJ didn't start the war
        C                             G
He just limped home wondering what he lost it for
Am              F                 E7
 I packed our bags, don't you hesitate
Am                F                  C                         G
We'll go north or we'll go west to a place we can reach for our better best
Am                      F                C         G
 Bring your mama's quilt and let 'em burn the rest

[Chorus]
Em                          F
 I watched the faces for a long time
Em                           F
 I filled the poison to the water table line
       C                   C/B
I know there would fall the grace of God
Am                  Am/G              D7/F#
Still feels good to curse the odds of knowing what to do
E7                       Am
 With this old town and you

[Solo]
Am F C G (x4)

[Bridge]
C        G     Am     F                 C
We'll be gone again before it gets too far
    G            E7
And this time, I won't look behind me
C        G     Am       Am/G             D7/F#
We'll be gone again and I know what I'll do
                  E7                             Am
When it's time to choose between this town and you

[Interlude]
Am F C G (x4)

[Verse 3]
Am                F
 Marianne I don't wanna wait
C                          G
 The chapel's full but the preacher's late
        Am                F               E7
There's flies around our cake, shut the door
