Version 1
            [Intro]

C G x4

[Verse]

  C            G
I wish I was a painter
    D              G
Charcoal and buffalo
     C            G
Or a presidential motorcade
          D
Where the cops just come and go

  C              G
Return me to the station
  D             G
A box and empty bag
     C                   G
Fall asleep watching the twister

[Chorus]

        C      C/B    Am7            (Gsus4)
In some broken down hotel in Birmingham

Gsus4 G x2

[Verse]

        C            G
Cause I wish I was a calendar
D                G
Numbers and good names
C         G
Variating slightly
             D
But only the pictures ever change

     C             G
Mark me 'return to sender'
           D                G
I'm like a letter without a stamp
         C             G
I wasn't written to be read
         C                 G
And I am sleepless in this bed

[Chorus]

        C      C/B    Am7           (Gsus4)
In some broken down hotel in Birmingham

Gsus4 G x4

[Verse]

         C           G
Held her hand in Old Savannah
    D                 G
Marigold print on her dress
    C                   G
Her hair was combed and parted
       D
Like a beautiful princess

         C              G
I didn't see you at the altar
         D                G
Way back then you were so drunk
         C                 G
You were washed up on some hooker's bed
         D
Behind a shitty restaurants

           C                  G
Bought her pretty clothes and diamonds
            D              G
The guy was born to be her man
        C         G
We were more than commentary
      D
For a cheap headline grab

            C                  G
So when the wind blows in your window
           D                  G
'Cause the storm don't give a damn
         C
Pray the window don't break
G                        D
Across the wrist of your writing hand

     C          G
On a stationary wept with tears
       D                 G
Of the peoples backs you stab
            C             G
When you're hiding like a robber
              D
With no one's purse to grab

C           G                      D
Remember me standing there holding out my hand

[Chorus]

     C       C/B   Am7            G
In a broken down hotel in Birmingham

[Outro]

C G x3
