Back alleys full of rain[C]
and everything shin[G]ing
as holy as she can [C]be
the trick's in the[G] timing
Free as a morning b[C]ird,
fragile as chi[G]na,
she's stuck in the weake[C]st heart
of South Carol[G]ina
where all of the naked [Cm]boys
lay down beside [Bm]her,
sing her the saddes[Am]t song
all caught in the bria[G]rs
[G]I never meant to [Cm]fall
so hard in the door[Bm]way
and all the sinners [Am]here
have crosses for Su[D]nday
Kissed at the county [Cm]fair,
frisked in the [Bm]city,
where prove is as an answered p[Am]rayer
but ain't it a p[G]ity
that all of the naked b[C]oys
that laid down beside [G]her
sing her the saddest[C] song
all caught in the bri[G]ars
and everything shin[G]ing
as holy as she can [C]be
the trick's in the[G] timing
Free as a morning b[C]ird,
fragile as chi[G]na,
she's stuck in the weake[C]st heart
