Capo: 1st fret

[Verse 1]
     G                        Cadd9        G
I threw up this morning in Christiansburg, VA
    Cadd9          G               D
I drove down from PA, slept in my van
            G
And I can still taste the whiskey
          Cadd9          G
From the last fool that kissed me
         Cadd9      G
And the people who miss me
       D/F#              G
I can count on one hand
 
 
[Verse 2]
                             Cadd9   G
He missed by a mile, a Paso Fino  caballo
      Cadd9    G
That girl in Ohio
                    D
With hair black as coal
          G
She was charmed for a moment
      Cadd9        G
By a circus clown poet
      Cadd9        G           D          G
And, boy, did he blow it and she let him go
 
 
[Chorus]
          Cadd9
Reckless hearts
                   Cadd9
The tattered and bruised ones
      Cadd9
The slightly confused ones
                                 G
The ones holding stools down in bars
  Cadd9
Show up and find us
     F        Cadd9
And gently remind us
                           G
To not be ashamed of our scars
          A
Or who we are
 
 
[Verse 3]
           G
I've been saying I was sober
           Cadd9      G
Since the sixth of October
    Cadd9        G
But all that was over
                  D
When I heard him say
            G
There's a friend you been missin'
        Cadd9        G
With a fifth in the kitchen
 Cadd9      G              D      G
We started sippin' and he faded away
 
 
[Chorus]
          Cadd9
Reckless hearts
                   Cadd9
The tattered and bruised ones
      Cadd9
The slightly confused ones
                                 G
The ones holding stools down in bars
  Cadd9
Show up and find us
     F        Cadd9
And gently remind us
                           G
To not be ashamed of our scars
          A
Or who we are
 
 
[Instrumental]
G    Cadd9   G    Cadd9    G    G    D    G    Cadd9   G    Cadd9    G    D    G    G   
 
 
[Outro]
         G
So just live in the rhythm
          Cadd9          G
And the rhymes when you get 'em
         Cadd9          G
And the notes when you miss 'em
                            D
'Cause you drank all night long
   G
In all of his runnin'
     Cadd9    G
He showed me somethin'
      Cadd9       G
That dyin' ain't nothin'
       D/F#             G
And I can't prove him wrong
              I threw up this morning in Christiansburg, VA
I drove down from PA, slept in my van
And I can still taste the whiskey
From the last fool that kissed me
And the people who miss me
I can count on one hand

He missed by a mile, a Paso Fino caballo
That girl in Ohio
With hair black as coal
She was charmed for a moment
By a circus clown poet
And, boy, did he blow it and she let him go

Reckless hearts
The tattered and bruised ones
The slightly confused ones
The ones holding stools down in bars
Show up and find us
And gently remind us
To not be ashamed of our scars
Or who we are

I've been saying I was sober
Since the sixth of October
But all that was over
When I heard him say
There's a friend you been missin'
With a fifth in the kitchen
We started sippin' and he faded away

Reckless hearts
The tattered and bruised ones
The slightly confused ones
The ones holding stools down in bars
Show up and find us
And gently remind us
To not be afraid of our scars
Or who we are

So just live in the rhythm
And the rhymes when you get 'em
And the notes when you miss 'em
'Cause you drank all night long
In all of his runnin'
He showed me somethin'
That dyin' ain't nothin'
And I can't prove him wrong
