Intro: F 
 
Verse 1 chords: 
F 
Portable television, shrouded in snow 
     Gm                 A#/F 
In a raggedy van on the side of the road 
    F 
The night it had frozen through my little bones 
       Gm                        A#/F 
So you took me in your arms, you squeezed out the cold 
 
Chorus 1 chords: 
F                       Gm          A#/F 
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 
F                       Gm          A#/F         F 
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 
 
Verse 2: use verse 1 chords 
Upstate New York, autumn, brightly colored leaves 
Oh, the hills were on fire, they burn for you and me 
And where we were going it was built like a lie 
But as sacred as the Bible, so we didn't question why

And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 
And oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h-h 
 
Bridge: 
  A#/F                 F 
I saw it in the soil just recently 
          Gm                                   F 
Where the rows of teeth they grow in fields of infinite greed 
    A#/F                       F 
And here laid the father, and here stood the son 
          Gm                         F             A#/F 
Where the road meets the horizon for everyone, for everyone 
 
Verse 3: use verse 1 chords 
Portable television, take us away 
From this burden of reflection we've carried today 
Oh, the generator's running but there's nothing on the air 
And the static is a comfort, so we huddle around and stare
