C
Come in from the cold, you must be cold
Am
Thread bare against a freezing wind is a short time getting old
C
Come and sit down, tell me where you've been
Am
Rest your soul beside the fire 'til it's time to go again

F    C     Am
Take me back
F    C     Am
One more time
   F        C        Am
Where the railroad tracks
        Dm  C    F    G
Meet the kudzu vine
              C

C
The blood that's flowing through you flows through me
Am
When I look in any mirror it's your face that I see
C
You're my only brother, I'm your twin
Am
You've come home to rest awhile and shed your dying skin

F    C     Am
Ease your mind
F    C     Am
Have no fear
             F   C    Am
When it comes your time
Dm   C    F    G
I'll be here
             C

C

(Not Sure About this)
Bm
We are two Houston kids
Bm
Selling mason jar lids
Bm
With our pop bottles hid
F       C      Am
By the bayous bend
F       C      Am
In the wild East End
        F   C    F
We'll go back again
              G

C
I used to cast my judgments like a net
Am
All those California *** boys deserve just what they get
C
Little did I know there would come a day
Am
When my words would come back screaming like a debt I have to pay

F    C     Am
Lean on me
F    C     Am
I'll be strong
F       C      Am
You're almost free
   Dm    C     F   G
It won't be long
               C
