Verse 1:
D                      Am7
The fire started at the 4 in the morning
               G                       D
Dawning on his daddy cigarette burning low
D                    Am7                            G                          
He still hearing the sound trying to get out of the house that never felt like a
 D
 home
D                Am7       G                 D
You bring up the memories, he still stuck at seventeen

And leaving work in the evening to start drinking for a reason that he already
D
knows

                D     Am7
Said I wanna be free, darling

Like I feel in my dreams
                D   Am7
It's all that I see fallen
G                  D
When I can't go to sleep
               D           Am7
Feels like I'm drowning in nostalgia
G                D

He met her under the mountains of Montana
G                                 D
By the summer they all went up in smoke

He said we're better together, but all these embers seem to follow me wherever I
 D
 go
D            Am7           G                D
Dumb luck at twenty-three, don't change the history

He was watching the shimmer out on the river saying maybe this is my way home

Feels like I'm drowning in nostalgia
