Matt Harlan – Elizabethtown chords

[Verse]
CI got a bad phone call from Elizabethtown.
                               AmSaid my brother, he?s back in jail.
      F& the kids are staying with the grandfolks now,
                  GCause there ain?t noone ?round here, family or not
                              FEven thinking about going his bail.
CHe's been living down the wrong road now.

Is what some people they?re saying.
                     AmGoing on a couple of years.
          FBut I was there when he nearly blew that boy away.
          G& I ain't ever thought once in all my life

I?d ever see so many tears.

[Chorus]
         F                  CI said, ?Justin, please you break my heart.
             G                     CYou've got a soul of gold, but you ain't that smart
       F                      GOn the streets & boy you're needing to be.
       F                        CIf you wanna keep tumbling around,
          F                        CKeep your own two feet from flying off the ground,
      F                                 GWanna keep acting like you?re some damn Indiana kingpin?
            FJust shadow boxing on the corner where you planted your seeds
                                                  CWaiting for the snow to fall & cover your dreams, alright.?

        CI don't think too much about Elizabethtown
                                       AmBut there?s some memories that I can?t shake.
          FIt's like slideshows taped up behind my eyes ?
C                 GI've got one for every time I tried to get away
                          FOne for every time that I stayed.
               CIt'll take you fifteen hours to get from there to here
                              AmIt takes me nine every time I leave.
        FI ain't ever been one for the long goodbyes.
        GI ain't ever had the stomach for the same old scene

Never had the patience to pray.


[Chorus]
         F                  CI said, Justin, please you break my heart.
             G                     CYou?ve got a soul of gold, but you ain?t that smart
       F                      GOn the streets ? & boy you're needing to be.
       F                        CIf you wanna keep tumbling around,
          F                        CKeep your own two feet from flying off the ground,
      F                                   GWanna keep acting like you?re some damn Indiana kingpin?
            FJust shadow boxing on the corner where you planted your seeds
                                                        CWaiting for the wind to blow & scatter your dreams, alright.?
