Red And Orange Special

          F
There's a river down in Nashville
          Bb
Where the alcohol's so clean
       Gm
It can wash away the sins
   Bb
Of anyone but me

       F
And if you're not at the table
            Bb
Then you're probably the meal
          Gm
Name goes higher on the menu
        Bb
As your drinks begin to spill

             F
And it's too humid in the morning
       Bb
Her mascara starts to fade
         Gm
Into the silk of all her pillows
          Bb
Where the codine's set to lay

              F
And when they wash away the garbage
           Bb
Where that horror will remain
         Gm                        Bb
And that red and orange special is burning

On that midnight train

F Gm (x2)

[Verse 2]
       F
And if you try hard enough
      Bb
Maybe you just might believe
             Gm
Still know exactly who you are
          Bb
Unitl you panic and can't breathe

                F
But you're just sweating in the mirror
            Bb
You're just melting in the sink
           Gm
Like cheap trick birthday candles
         Bb
Slow red flames burning into pink

F Gm (x2)

[Verse 3]
      F
It is raining on the harbor
      Bb
It is raining on the sea
     Gm
I am rushing through the alleyway
Bb
I am almost free

         F
You are toxic and so selfish
         Bb
Like you are some sort of saint
         Gm
Walking 'round the house and cussin'
         Bb
Counting all the things you hate

      F
Put a bullet in the TV
             Bb
While you're screaming at the clouds
        Gm
Passing by us moving overhead
             Bb
When there's no one else around

            F
I drink the poison when it's liquid
            Bb
I drink the poison in your glass
            Gm
Your kisses burn my tongue of feeling
      Bb
Onion peels and fiberglass

      F
It is raining on the cemetary
      Bb
It is falling from the tree
          Gm
There's detectives in the shadows
       Bb
Taking notes on what I see

          F
There's a broken moon ascending
       Bb
Like a sword upon the scene
              Gm
When there is no one there to give a fuck
        Bb
And the midnight special is burning into pink

F Gm (x4)

[Bridge]
                F
Static hits the wall

Drinking flights
          Bb
When it's nice

When it's sunny
         Gm
Smoke is billowing out of the cackling mouths
        Bb
Telling jokes that are barely funny
       F
People laughing anyway
               Bb
Stuck in their jobs like bees and honey
        Gm
I don't need your love to stay alive
             Bb
I'll take my pride, and you can keep the money

F Gm (x2)

[Verse 4]
         F
It's too humid in the evening
        Bb
As your looks begin to fade
        Gm
All the money in the world
       Bb
Cannot take back what you said

              F
And when they wash away the garbage
           Bb
Only your memories will remain
         Gm
And that red and orange special
   Bb                           F
Is burning on that midnight train
