E
Lost in the South. My thermostat don’t work
                         C#m
I’m sweating naked on my bed
                                      C#m
It’s gonna fade a nasty yellow in the morning
E
Another blank face staring through me
                     C#m
Like a chalk outline
C#m
of dreams that bled out in the night
A                             C#m    B   A
A post-mortem portrait of loneliness
A
Some heavy-handed statement like, “I’ve never felt at home.”

E C#m

[Verse]

          E
And some asshole shot up some kids
                               C#m
A week before you left for Portland
                               C#m
I’m thinking about dying again
          E
From the worst outcomes of a world that I can’t slow down
                    C#m
No matter how many times
C#m
I throw my hands into the air
                         A
and plead with everyone
                  C#m  B  A
I know it’s wrong
A
but I’m thinking about buying a gun

[Chorus]

                                E
Would you meet me in the middle?
               G#m            C#m
Would you meet me north of Buffalo?
         A     B       E
We’ll escape into the winter;
         G#m                     C#m
Build a house where no one wants to go
A       B        E
Meet me in the middle
               G#m            C#m
Would you meet me north of Buffalo?
         A     B       E
We’ll escape into the winter;
         G#m                     C#m
Build a house where no one wants
        A        B      E
No one wants to ever go

[Interlude]

E C#m (x2)

[Bridge]

                     A
Cause that’s not an option
           E
When everything looks like an
B        C#m     A
epitaph staring back at me
                   E
I’ll pace this parking lot
           B           C#m       A
trying to squeeze out from this misery
               E
How do I find you
             B       C#m     A
When you’re lost out in the sea of green
                   E         B  C#m  A
Iif the sun won’t come back?
A                               C#m  B  A
Rather be sheep in a snowstorm
A                         B  E  A
Than a lion in the brush
                             C#m   B    A
Rather be sheep trapped in a snowstorm
A
Than a lion in the brush
N.C.
In the sights of a bastard who can’t get it up

[Chorus]

                                E
Would you meet me in the middle?
               G#m            C#m
Would you meet me north of Buffalo?
         A     B       E
We’ll escape into the winter;
         G#m                     C#m
Build a house where no one wants to go
A       B        E
Meet me in the middle
               G#m            C#m
Would you meet me north of Buffalo?
         A     B       E
We’ll escape into the winter;
         G#m                     C#m
Build a house where no one wants
        A        B      E
No one wants to ever go
