This is such a great and easy song to play. You MUST use a capo on 1st fret.

Intro:
G    D    Em   C
G    D    Em   C

Verses:
Em                  C
     Kody sat down on the avenue
Em                     C
     He tapped his feet to the humming of the highway
Em                               C
     He watched the light shine down on the broken glass
           G               D     Em
And thought well I don't got no reasons yet
          C
There it is and there it was
Em                    C
     Now it was clear to all of us
Em                   C
     We kept this hat of broken dreams
G                     D                   C
     And we pulled it out when we needed them around

Chorus:
G                   D                Em      C
     So please hand me the bottle I think I'm lonely now
G                   D                  Asus2
     And please give me direction I think the hurt set in
          C        Bm       G    D/F#    Em
And I don't feel nothin'

C    Em   C

Verse chords:
There's a squeak hinge down on the back gate
It lets us know if he comes around
But I don't sleep that good anyway now
G                         D             C
     And if you've never heard that sound it's a God-awful sound

Chorus:
So please hand me the bottle I think I'm lonely now
And please give me direction I think I just caved in
            C         Bm     G     D/F#     Em          G     D/F#     Em
And I don't feel nothin'
           C
Hey I don't feel nothin' hey I don't feel nothin'
                          D
There's nothin' to feel good about here

Verse Chords:
I don't much get down onto the avenue
Well I could drive but it takes so much to get there
Don't get off on all the broken glass the Cadillac scene
Well I've seen a lot of good things die and I'm in an over-emotional way

Chorus 2x
So please hand me the bottle I think I'm lonely now
And please give me direction I think the hurt sets in

Hey well please hand me the bottle well I think I'm lonely now
I'm lonely now I'm lonely now hold me now hold me now
And please give me direction I think I just caved in
          C
But it ain't nothin'

This is the acoustic part. It's such a great song. Any questions, mail me.
