Bb
I just had the strangest day of my life
Dm Bb
Worse than the last week with my first wife
Gm
I let John borrow my truck
F
He said he needed to get some stuff
Gm
To pay some bills
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb Dm
Nome ain't a city, it's barely a town
Bb
For a place so pretty, it could bring you way down
Gm
He kept his huntin' knife titanium-clipped
F
To a nylon belt set high on his hip
Gm A
For self-defense
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb
It was a regular mornin'
Dm C Bb
No red flags or warnings
Gm
No, nothin' suspicious
A
Wasn't I payin' attention?
[Verse 3]
Dm Bb Dm
I didn't see the full gas can he'd set in the seat
Bb
I just nodded and tossed him the keys
Gm
Did I see shakin' in his hands?
F
Was he makin' darker plans
Gm
Than usual?
[Verse 4]
Dm Bb
John had been clean for over a year now
Dm Bb
We all thought he was in the clear now
Gm
But it wasn't God talkin' to him that day
F
It was a beast that never goes away
Gm A
It sleeps in your brain
