Carolina Chords - Benjamin Gibbard

Intro

G C Am C Every scream went bleeding through these paper walls G C Am C and all the make-up in the world couldn't hide the scars G C Am C I leave today, I'm packing light: a suitcase, some toiletries G C Am C The rolling hills and willow trees of Carolina wait for me

Interlude

See Riff G C Am C You never learned, the rules have changed since we were nine G C Am C This isn't school: boys don't assault the girls they like G C Am C The taste of blood, the claim of love: these two will here on cease to be G C Am C sprouting from your fists and tongue 'cause Carolina waits for me

Interlude

See Riff G C Am C Fields of grain go whipping by from the window seat G C Am C I'm drifting in, I'm drifting out catching up on sleep G C Am C I couldn't get Indentured since the very crest of 17 G C Am C I left my keys and broken dreams 'cause Carolina waits for me

Interlude

See Riff G C Am C I will never forgive a single day G C Am C Mile markers seem to call my name and say, G C Am C "you're safer now. Through every town, we'll light your way in reflective green G C Am C G all the way" The entire state of Carolina waits for me Riffs:
