Chords for The Mountain Goats - Wild Sage (Radio Session)

_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
I leave the house as soon as it gets [A] light outside _
[C] Like a prisoner [G] breaking out of jail And I steal down to business highway [A] _ 15501 _
[C] Like I had a bounty [G] hunter on [B] my tail And [D] somebody stops to pick me up
[E] But he drops me off just down the block And along [G] the highway
_ [Bm] _ [C] Where the empty [G] spirits breathe _ Wild [D] sage growing [G] in the weeds _ _
Walk down the soft shoulder and [A] I count my steps
[C] _ Headed vaguely eastward [G] sun in my eyes And I lose my footing and [A] I skin my hands
Breaking my fall _
[C] And I laugh to myself
_ [G] And look up at the skies And then I [D] think I hear angels [F#] in my ears
[E] Like marbles being thrown [C] against a mirror And [G] along the highway
_ [C] Where unlucky stray [G] dogs bleed _ Wild sage growing in the weeds _ _
[F] _ And some days I don't [G] miss my family _ _
[F] _ _ [C] And [G] some days I do And _
[F] _ [C] some days I think [G] I'd feel better
If [Em] I tried harder [C] Most _ days I know [D] it's not true _ _ _
[G] I lay down right where I [A] fell Cold grass in my face
[C] _ And I hear the traffic [G] Like the rhythm of the tides _
And I stare at the scrape [A] On the heel of my hand
[C] Till it doesn't sting so much [G] And until the blood's dried
And when [D] somebody asks [F#] if I'm okay [E] I don't know what to say
And [G] along the highway _ [C] From [E] cast off and innumerable [G] seeds
_ Wild sage growing [G] in the weeds _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ [G] _ _ _
