Ticking Chords by Zach Bryan

[Intro]

E A E
E B
E A C#m B
E A C#m B
 
[Verse]

    E                            
I’m cutting ties with things that 
        A
bind my heart to this world
  C#m                        
I love you and I’m willing but  
  B
I cannot keep you girl
E                        
Philly by the morning and 
 A
Ohio by the night
    C#m                       
The thing about a long rope is 
    B
you can’t hold on too tight
 
[Interlude]

E   A 
C#m B
 
[Verse]

E                             
Wooden floors and coffee cups 
A
stepped on and all used up
      C#m            
But I reckon that’s 
                 B
what morning are for
    E                                 
And everyone thinks 

they know me now in  
      A
these close minded leave me towns
    C#m                          B
But I’m too young to even know myself
 
[Chorus]

        E      B                C#m
There’s wheels running down the interstate
A               E               
Lord, I’ll wait another day cuz 
B                C#m   A 
I ain’t close to you
        E    B              C#m
There’s time ticking on the interstate
    A            E      
And Lord, I hate that 
       B         C#m   A
I ain’t close to you
 
[Interlude]

E   B 
C#m A
 
[Verse]

    E                               
And all my friends have moved away, 
A
some got jobs and some got saved
     C#m                             B
They talk to me like I am still that kid
    E                           
The fighting, fiendin' Okie son,    
     A
 the restless, reckless, hopeful one
    C#m                             B
Who once was proud of everything he did
 
[Verse]

   E               A
Do you remember 25 long legs and loving time
C#m                     B
Seems like 10 lifetimes ago
    E                            
I’m cutting ties with things that 
        A
bind my heart to this world
  C#m                         
I love you and I’m willing but 
  B
I really have to go
 
[Chorus]

        E      B                C#m
There’s wheels running down the interstate
A               E               
Lord, I’ll wait another day cuz 
B                C#m   A
I ain’t close to you
        E    B              C#m        
There’s time ticking on the interstate, 
    A
I'm fighting fate
    E                 
And Lord, I hate that 
B                C#m   A
I ain’t close to you
 
[Interlude]

E B C#m A
 
[Verse]

    E                           
I’m cutting ties with things that 
        A
bind my heart to this world 
  C#m                         
I love you and I’m willing but
   B
 I cannot keep you girl
E                         
Philly by the morning and 
 A
Ohio by the night
    C#m                       
The thing about high hopes is 
   B
you can’t hold on too tight
