Tyler Childers - Peace of Mind: chords

          F
He drinks orange juice and vodka
In the basement while she's talkin'
To someone, long-distance,
                       C7
for hours and hours on end
C7
And as he's slowly sippin'
he thinks about his children
And the heart attacks that
                                  F
youngest daughter's always given him
F
He ain't smoke no marijuana since
he got on with the railroad

And he's been on with the railroad for
   F7                 A#
a long and loathsome while
But the day that he retires,
        F
he'll smoke himself to China
       C7
He'll leave behind his worries
                          F
as he races through the skies

Chorus:
             A#
The days are dark
             F
Down in the holler
         C7              F  F7
Waitin' for the sun to shine
       A#
On the back
                F
You have been breakin'
           C7
Tryin' to earn
          F
Peace of mind

She sells Avon to her buddies
and saves a little money
On the makeup she's been using
to hide away the years
And she sits and watches TV,
usually every evening
If there ain't some kind of ballgame
that her daughter has to cheer
She sneaks menthols in the morning
while her family's still snoring
And as she burns the Eggos,
she looks back at her life
That heart she broke in high school,
he's singing on the Opry
She wonders what the hell that
she was thinking at the time

Chorus

Their youngest daughter Stella,
she's been running with this fella
That he cannot stand the thought of,
that he surely does despise
He's told her he best never see
the two of them together
But it’s hard to keep an eye on her
When you’re working all the time
There are things he needs to tend to
And the bills the bank keeps sendin'
Lord, the zeros on the end keep
pushing further to the right
Like a freight train hauling sorrow
and moving ever onward
Through the tunnel of forever to
the never ending light
