Chords for Tyler Childers - Snipe Hunt

[G] The heat of the world, cause I thought it was _ [D] mine
And all of the plants that I had froze [A] inside
Cause there's only [G] so much to [D] go around _ _
_ _ _ _ _ It took me some tries and a whole lot of kindling
[G] But when the lesson arrived, it only took me a minute
[D] To learn there's some things are better [A] off freezing
I can name you [B] a few [D] that I've found
_ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] Hate is a thing that can poison your veins
[D] And get in your eyes when you're standing on the stage
[A] Shifting around four o'clock on [Em] the [G] wall
Tell you it's _ [D] almost _ over _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] Lands that keep rolling, times for the birds
[D] To chirp in your ear on the rumors they've heard
_ [A] _ Flying [Em] above [A] all the good in this [G] world _
Sitting on cattle [D] and clover _
_ Now _ _ _ _ when I was a young boy, I thought I could [G] track
And an old timer sat down and wrenched me to sack
[D] And he told me all of the knowledge I [A] lacked
On an ornery [B] old bird [D] called a snag _
_ _ _ _ _ He picked me up on a Friday and he dropped me in Charlotte
[G] Told me when he'd be back, I went off to [D] party
And I sat on the hill like a _ [A] Jeremiah Johnson
And I froze my [G] dumb ass [D] off all night _ _
_ And _ _ that's the way that I feel when I look at [G] our past
And all of the _ handshakes you called a night
[D] And all of the stickers you passed off as [A] laughs
And the way your [C#] eyes never [D] met mine _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Paranoia's a thing that you're making when sleeping
[D] And the name of the thing you call ain't the company you [A] keep
_ _ _ Uh, _ _ [D] _ [A] a good old boy's nightmare is another full sleep
[G] It's all in the way [D] that you hold it _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Hotels are lonely, I reckon I know
[D] I've spent many nights _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] Watching as the paint dries on the wall
I'm a _ [G]
bugger, they just [D] painted over _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ me _ _ _ _
Life _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ reminds me of a card game I played as a kid
[G] Where you laid down on the deck till you got to the [D] end
And early on there's a joke, I got lost and need [A] the fridge
But over time [B] all the queens [D] moved in with him _ _ _
And _ I'm sure that he had him an absolute _ ball
But [G] he ruined the card game for all of us involved
[D] Because when he did, he'd act me like Kudzu in Georgia
I hope I don't do that again
[A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
