                   C
Back alleys full of rain
                   G
and everything shining
                   C
as holy as she can be
                    G
the trick’s in the timing
 
                   C
Free as a morning bird,
              G
fragile as china,
                          C
she’s stuck in the weakest heart
              G
of South Carolina

                       Cm
where all of the naked boys
                Bm
lay down beside her,
                   Am
sing her the saddest song
                      G
all caught in the briars


G                Cm
I never meant to fall
                   Bm
so hard in the doorway
                    Am
and all the sinners here
                   D
have crosses for Sunday
                     Cm
Kissed at the county fair,
               Bm
frisked in the city,
                               Am                      
where prove is as an answered prayer
                  G
but ain’t it a pity

                       C
that all of the naked boys
                      G
that laid down beside her
                    C
sing her the saddest song
                     G
all caught in the briars
