Capo: 2
Intro:
[Am]
Verse 1:
Oh, [Am]Carolina creeks running [G]through my [Dm]veins
Lost I was [Dm]born, lonesome I [G]came
Lonesome I'll [Am]always stay
[Am]Carolina knows why, for [G]years, I [Dm]roam
Free as these [Dm]birds, light as [G]whispers
[Am]Carolina knows
Pre-chorus:
And [Am]you didn't see me here
No, they [Am]never did see me here
And she's [C]in [G]my [Dm]dreams
Chorus:
Into the [Dm]mist, into the [C]clouds
[G]Don't [Dm]leave
I make a [Dm]fist, I'll make it [C]count
And there are [G]places I will [Dm]never, ever go
[Am] And things that [G]only [Dm]Carolina will ever [Am]know
Instrumental:
[Am] [G] [Dm] [Dm] [G] [Am]
Verse 2:
[Am]Carolina stains on the [G]dress she [Dm]left
Indelible [Dm]scars, pivotal [G]marks
Blue as the [Am]life she fled
[Am]Carolina pines, won't you [G]cover [Dm]me?
Hide me like [Dm]robes down the back [G]road
Muddy these [Am]webs we weave
Pre-chorus:
And [Am]you didn't see me here
Oh, they [Am]never did see me here
And she's [C]in [G]my [Dm]dreams
Chorus:
Into the [Dm]mist, into the [C]clouds
[G]Don't [Dm]leave
I make a [Dm]fist, I'll make it [C]count
And there are [G]places I will [Dm]never, ever go
[Am]And things that [G]only [Dm]Carolina will ever [C]know [G] [Dm]
Instrumental:

[C] [G] [Dm] [Dm]
Refrain:
And [Am]you didn't see me here
They [G]never did see me here
No, [Dm]you didn't see me here
They [G]never saw me
Verse 3:
Oh, [Am]Carolina knows why for [G]years they've [Dm]said
That I was [Dm]guilty as [G]sin and sleep in a [Am]liar's bed
But the [Am]sleep comes fast and I'll [G]meet no [Dm]ghosts
It's between [Dm]me, the sand, and the [G]sea
[Am]Carolina knows
Chorus:
Why I'm [Em]on a bench in Coney [C]Island
Wondering where did my [G]baby go?
The fast times, the bright lights, the [Bm]merry go
[C]Sorry for not making you [D]my centerfold
Over and [Em]over
[C]Lost again with no surprises
[G/B]Disappointments close your eyes
And [Bm]it gets colder and [C]colder
When the sun [D]goes down
Bridge:
[Em]Were you waiting at our [C]old spot
In the tree line
By the [G]gold clock
Did I leave you hanging every single day?
[Bm]Were you standing in the [C]hallway
With a big cake, happy [D]birthday
Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey?
A [Em]universe away
And when I [C]got into the accident
The [G]sight that flashed before me was your face
[Bm]But when I walked up to the podium
I [D]think that I forgot to say your name
Chorus:
And [Am]Carolina knows I'm [Em]on a bench in Coney [C]Island
Wondering where did my [G]baby go?
The fast times, the bright lights, the [Bm]merry go
[C]Sorry for not making you [D]my centerfold
Over and [Em]over
[C]Lost again with no surprises
[G/B]Disappointments close your eyes
And [Bm]it gets colder and [C]colder
When the sun [D]goes down
Outro:
When the sun [Em]goes down, [C]Carolina knows that
The [G]sight that flashed before me was your face
When the sun [Bm]goes [C]down
But I [D]think that I forgot to say your name
Over and [Em]over [C]
[G]Sorry for not making you my, making you my
[Bm]Making you [C]my [D]centerfold
