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

(Not Sure)
We are two Houston kids
Selling mason jar lids
With our pop bottles hid
By the bayous bend
In the wild East End
We'll go back again
Wandering boy

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
