Verse 1
[G]Looking for a reason not to [Am]stay drunk
All the [G]time
[G]Feel my way through the creases
Of those [Am]wrinkled linen sheets of [G]time
Verse 2
When you [Am]wondered off to Mexico
Leaving late no one know you'd [G]flown

I don't [G]mind

Verse 3
[G]Sky water running off the mountain
[Am]Sliding through the light of dusty [G]souls
[G]The field of water grows I skip the pebble
Of the [Am]lonely mocking [G]bird
When you [Am]wandered off with money man
We all knew there would be no [G]return
That was the [C]moment when the breeze
[C]Dashed across the wicked seas
And came back as the ballad of the [G]pines

[G]Sing it with me if your heart is broken
This [C]is the ballad of the [G]pines
[G]Sing it with me if you're filled with joy
For this [C]is the ballad of the [G]pines
When you're sitting with your best friends sing it to [C]them
The ballad of the [G]pines
They are standing there like temples sing it to [C]them
The ballad of the [G]pines
