[Verse 1]
 
C     B/C      Am   G    F              G
I was born in Carolina, near the paper mill
C    B/C       Am        G        F              G
I learned the town was haunted, rebels had been killed
F                    G              C
Somethin' grew up twisted in me, rippin' all
       G
the seams
    Am           G                  F
But I was mended by the love of my mama
     C         G            C C/B Am G F G
To fight the devils down in me
 
[Verse 2]
 
C  B/C       Am        G       F          G
I left for Nashville with no money to my name
C  B/C     Am  G    F           G
I sang on 17th like I was on a stage
     F                G                C           G
The road that I took then was full of ditches and mistakes
      Am          G            F
And deep in the shadow of my failures
   C          G                  C C/B Am G F G
I saw some things are worth the pain
 
[Chorus]
               F        C           G
I wanna live like I'm only made of air
               F               C           G
And I will forgive what I've done out of despair
     C                    G             F
I'm tryin' to find the happiness and healin'
         C            G               C C C/B Am G F G
In the things that still need some repair
 
C C C/B Am G F G
 
[Verse 3]
 
C   B/C      Am    G     F                G
My marriage ended and I moved up north to mend
C  B/C      Am       G      F            G
I tried to fight it like a needle in my skin
     F              G                 C              G
The hole inside me kept on growin', everything went black
     Am               G            F
Was then I heard the words of my father
        C                 G                 C C/B Am G F G
"Have faith, there's no storm that doesn't pass"
 
[Chorus]
 
               F        C           G
I wanna live like I'm only made of air
               F               C           G
And I will forgive what I've done out of despair
    C              G             F
I wish you only happiness and healing
       C                  G             C C/B Am G F G
And I hope that you're finding it out there
C C/B Am G F G
Yeah a hah, oooh-ooh-ooh
 
C C/B Am G F G
 
C C/B Am G F G
 
[Verse 4]
 
C     B/C    Am   G          F             G
I'll carry every life I've lived into the next
C   B/C      Am    G         F              G
Maybe Saint Peter will just average all the best
           F           G           C             G
But don't let me into Heaven 'til Goliath knows defeat
     Am                   G          C
And when it's done, I'll slip into nirvana
         C          G                   C C/B Am G F G
And let go of everything that's holdin' me
C C/B Am G F G  end on C
Holdin' me
