Ashley McBryde - 6th Of October: chords

     G#                       C#           G#
I threw up this morning in Christiansburg, VA
    C#            G#               D#
I drove down from PA, slept in my van
            G#
And I can still taste the whiskey
          C#             G#
From the last fool that kissed me
         C#         G#
And the people who miss me
       D#/G         G#
I can count on one hand

He missed by a mile, a Paso Fino caballo
That girl in Ohio with hair black as coal
She was charmed for a moment by a circus clown poet
And boy did he blow it when she let him go

Chorus:
          C#
Reckless hearts
The tattered and bruised ones
The slightly confused ones
                                 G#
The ones holding stools down in bars
  C#
Show up and find us
     F#       C#
And gently remind us
                           G#
To not be ashamed of our scars
          A#
Or who we are

I've been saying I was sober since the
6th of October
But all that was over when I heard him say
"There's a friend you've been missing
with a fifth in the kitchen"
We started sipping and he faded away

Chorus:
Reckless hearts
The tattered and bruised ones
Slightly confused ones
The ones holding stools down in bars
They show up and find us
And gently remind us
To not be afraid of our scars
Or who we are

         G#
So just live in the rhythm
          C#            G#
And the rhymes when you get 'em
         C#             G#
And the notes when you miss 'em
                            D#
'Cause you drank all night long
   G#
In all of his runnin'
     C#       G#
He showed me somethin'
      C#          G#
That dyin' ain't nothin'
       D#/G             G#
And I can't prove him wrong
