How come no one told me
C
that love means
D G
waging a war
C D
It makes me wonder
G walk down Em
what was I fighting for
Am D
(hum melody)
How come no one told me
It would hurt this much
when you leave
It washes over me
I am grey with grief
You are the reason
C G C G
I lost my mind, I can't sleep at night
Am D
I've been drinking too much, but it's never enough
C G
You are the reason (x2?)
Am D
You are the reason
G walk down to Em interlude
How come no one told me
that life's not for the faint of heart
Into the fire
and then I fall apart
You are the reason
I lost my head, I can't get outtta bed
Everything's wrong, I don't know where I belong
You are the reason (x2)
You are the reason (middle harmony)
I wait by the phone
You are the reason (middle)
I’m so alone
You are the reason (high)
I been drinkin too much
You are the reason (high)
It’s never enough
Am D
Yeah you are the reason
You you you, you you you

Lavender Lips capo 6
V1
F C G Am Am
When my blood runs black and my skin's cold as snow
and no one can tell me where my soul goes
I'll have secrets inside me
you'll never know
they'll hide in the dirt with my ashes and bones
V2
Sisters, and mothers, and lovers, and friends
Well, we all close our eyes one day in the end
When it's my time to meet the maker of men
Will I still be thinkin what might've been
CHORUS
C G F Am
Will you kiss my lavender lips when I die?
C G Am G
Give me your hand to hold
C G Em G
As I leave this world alone
C G F Am
And kiss my lavender lips when I die
V3
There's so many things that I never knew
But the one thing I knew: it was always you
But you can't save me when my heart's icy blue
Don't blame yourself for what you could never do
CHORUS
Will you kiss my lavender lips when I die.
Give me your hand to hold
As I leave this world alone
And kiss my lavender lips when I die
V4
It's all war and guns and fire
and every hope turns into useless desire
and Love, she's just a jealous liar
I'd rather burn up in a funeral pyre
CHORUS
C G F Am
Will you kiss my lavender lips when I die.
C G Am G
Give me your hand to hold
C G Em G
As I leave this world alone
C G Am G
Give me your hand to hold
C G Em G
As I leave this world alone
And kiss my lavender lips when I die

Wildflowers
Lonesome little weathered wildflowers
along the road
They smell like mama's perfume and bar room smoke
They cling to the dirt
The sing to the birds
“Come home
We're so alone.”
Lonesome little weathered wildflowers
in the bars
You can see 'em down on Sunset, chasin stars
Don't be surprised to see her eyes
Painted smoky as the night
Take her home
She's so alone
Lonesome little weathered wildflowers x 3
along the road
Lonesome little weathered wildflowers
lost in bed
‘Cause you know that it ain't easy painting this town red
sing me to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I'm going home
I'm so alone
Lonesome little weary wildflowers
Lonesome little worn out wildflowers
Lonesome little washed up wildflowers
I’m going home

Lodi

Just about a year ago, I set out on the road,
Seekin' my fame and fortune, lookin' for a pot of gold.
Things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you will know the tune.
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.
Rode in on the Greyhound, I'll be walkin' out if I go.
I was just passin' through, must be seven months or more.
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends.
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.
The man from the magazine said I was on my way.
Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play.
I came into town on a one night stand, looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.
If I only had a dollar, for ev'ry song I've sung.
And ev'ry time I've had to play while people sat there drunk.
You know I'd catch the next train back to where I live.
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again.
