Codeine by Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit (Standard Tuning) VERSE G D Em7 Cadd9 If there's one thing I can't stand G D Em7 Cadd9 it's this bar and this cover band G D Em7 Cadd9 trying to fake their way through 'Castles Made of Sand.' G D Em7 Cadd9 That's one thing I can't stand. G D Em7 Cadd9 If there's one thing I can't take G D Em7 Cadd9 it's the sound that a woman makes G D Em7 Cadd9 about five seconds after her heart begins to break. G D Em7 Cadd9 That's one thing I can't take. BRIDGE Bm Cadd9 She should be home by now but she ain't. Bm Cadd9 I should've gone by now but I cain't.

G D Em7 Cadd9 If there's two things that I hate G D Em7 Cadd9 it's having to cook and trying to date. G D Em7 Cadd9 Busting ass all day to play 'hurry up and wait.'
