[verse]
  D            A
I wish I was a painter
    E              A
Charcoal and buffalo
     D            A
Or a presidential motorcade
          E
Where the cops just come and go
   D              A
Return me to the station
  E             A
a box and empty bag
     D                   A
Fall asleep watching the twister

[chorus]
        D      D/C#    Bm7
In some broken down hotel in Birmingham

[verse]
        D            A
Cause I wish I was a calendar
E                A
Numbers and good names
D         A
Variating slightly
             E
But only the pictures ever change
      D             A
Mark me 'return to sender'
           E                A
I'm like a letter without a stamp
         D             A
I wasn't written to be read
         D                 A
And I am sleepless in this bed

[chorus]
        D      D/C#    Bm7
In some broken down hotel in Birmingham

[verse]
         D           A
Held her hand in Old Savannah
    E                 A
Marigold print on her dress
    D                   A
Her hair was combed and parted
       E
Like a beautiful princess
          D              A
I didn't see you at the altar
         E                A
Way back then you were so drunk
         D                 A
You were washed up on some hooker's bed
         E
Behind a shitty restaurants
            D                  A
Bought her pretty clothes and diamonds
            E              A
The guy was born to be her man
        D         A
We were more than commentary
      E
For a cheap headline grab
            D                  A
So when the wind blows in your window
           E                  A
'Cause the storm don't give a damn
         D
Pray the window don't break
A                        E
Across the wrist of your writing hand
      D          A
On a stationary wept with tears
       E                 A
Of the peoples backs you stab
            D             A
When you're hiding like a robber
              E
With no one's purse to grab
 D           A                      E
Remember me standing there holding out my hand

[chorus]
      D       D/C#   Bm7            A
