[Verse 1]
D  G             Csus2    G
  Another couple weeks go by
Em       Csus2      G
 And the creek gets higher
D    G               Csus2  G
 I'm getting covered up in  bites
    Csus2            G
The bugs'll suck you dry up here


[Instrumental]
| D          | G          | C    C/B   | Am   G     |
| D          | G          | C          | C  C/B  Am |


[Verse 2]
G          Am                  Am/B  C
 There's a notch on the tip of my    tongue
           G      Am           C
No warning hiss before it spits
      G            Am    C
Can I suck it back in
G                   Am        C
All the things I've ever said?
G         Am                     Am/B  C
 I make a cross with the nail on my    thumb
            G        Am         C
To stop the itch but it persists


[Chorus]
          G  Am    C
And I make amends
   G             Am            C
To everyone that I've left standing


[Verse 3]
D      G       C  C/B   Am   G  D
 While time is clicking like a  fan
    G   C  C/B   Am  G  D
And I'm sticking in  my hand
         G    C       D
And the sky is bright blue
   G       C       C  C/B  Am
Waiting on bad news


[Instrumental]
| G          | G          | Am         | Am   Am/B  |
| C          | C          | G          | Am         | C          |


[Chorus]
          G  Am    C
And I make amends
    G                        Am    C
And fake it whеn I count the dead
          G  Am    C
And I make amends
   G             Am            C
To everyone that I've left standing


[Bridge]
Am  Am/B  C                    G
 Shana    says to take the year
Am   Am/B  C                     D
“Shutter up, keep your head down, don't let it strip you bare"
N.C.      C    Am  Em          D
And maybe I'll be  better in a year
          Am  Am/B  C
And maybe I'll      deserve it then


[Instrumental]
| G          | G          | Am         | Am   Am/B  |
| C          | C          | G          | Am         | C          |


[Chorus]
          G  Am    C
And I make amends
    G                        Am    C
And fake it whеn I count the dead
          G  Am    C
And I make amends
   G             Am            C
To everyone that I've left standing


[Outro]
     G          Am    C
Did I shirk something?
     G         Am    C
Did I hurt someone?
     G         Am    C
Was I ever any good?
  G               Am     C
I know, I know, I know I was
     G  Am       C
Was I ungrateful?
  G             Am     C
I was, I was, I was, I was
     G  Am       C
Was I ungrateful?
  G             Am     C
I was, I was, I was, I was
  G             Am     C
I was, I was, I was, I was
  G             Am     C   G    Am  Am/B  C
I was, I was, I was, I was
