"Voices"
Sturgill Simpson
Metamodern Sounds in Country Music (2014)
[Verse 1]
D
There's a voice that I can hear sometimes out here on the mountain
A G D
When it's dark and the sky is pouring acid like a fountain
D
Memories like coal dust stain the windows of my eyes
A G D
So ask them no more questions, they can't sell you no more lies
[Verse 2]
D
I hear voices all around me in society's depression
A G D
Over and over they all recite their first impression
D
The rivers are all crying but the ocean cannot speak
A G D
Until her waters crash into uncharted shores so dark and bleak
[Chorus]
G D
How I wish somebody'd make these voices go away
D A
Seems they're always talking but ain't got much to say
G D
Well a picture's worth a thousand words but a word ain't worth a dime
D A D
We all know they'll go on talking 'til the end of time
[Solo]
G D G D A D
[Verse 2]
D
Don't call it a sign of the times when it's always been this way
A G D
Forked tongues and voices behind curtains with no name
D
They plot their wicked schemes setting fate for all mankind
A G D Dsus4 D Dsus2
With evil that can fill God's pretty skies with clouds that burn and blind
[Chorus]
G D
How I wish somebody'd make these voices go away
D A
Seems they're always talking but ain't got much to say
G D
Well a picture's worth a thousand words but a word ain't worth a dime
D A D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D5
We all know they'll go on talking 'til the end of time
