Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties - St joe keeps us safe live acoustic

I got s^Gick of the silence, I got ^Bmtired of the dark, I was s^Cleeping in late, I^D was wasting away, I was ^Emdying in small parts. So I l^Git up a smoke and, Took a w^Bmalk through the park. The d^Cead leaves scrape concrete m^Daking it sound like you're ^Emnext to me, arm in arm. I was ^Dputting holes in the drywall. I was h^Emoping you'd ^Dsave me from ^Cme.

I'm gonna^G go see my mother. Take the L^BmIRR. Walk the co^Cld Brooklyn streets towards ^DAstoria, Queens out to W^Emest Babylon. I wa^Glked up the driveway. Saw my D^Bmaddy's old car. He's b^Ceen gone for months but we co^Dvered it up. It still ^Emsits in the yard.

^AmWell I spent ^Dmy whole life^C saying I'd never need no one but ^GI think ^FI might n^Emeed you. I think I might n^Ameed you. I think I might ^Cmneed you.

We sa^Gt in the kitchen. My mother's a sol^Bmdier of god, and so pai^Cntings of Jesus, and st^Datues of saints still a^Emdorn all the halls, But we'll nev^Ger go hungry, thanks to the i^Bmnfant of Prague, and St. J^Coe keeps us safe cause we b^Duried him deep in a h^Emole in the backyard. I know ^Dthings ain't been good since dad died. I kn^Emow you don't ^Dneed this from ^Cme.

But ma^Gma, I'm breaking. There's no l^Bmight in the dark. Dia^Cnne left this week. She said, "^DSon, look at me. I know ^Emwe ain't been this low before and I^G'm sorry Aaron. I know this y^Bmear has been hard. If you^C're hurt then I'm hurt. I won'^Dt make it worse. I'm alwa^Emys in your corner."

^AmWell I spent ^Dmy whole life^C saying I'd never need no one but ^GI think ^FI might n^Emeed you. I think I might n^Ameed you. I think I might ^Cmneed you.

^AmSomething's ^Cmwrong. I been w^Gaiting h^Fere too lo^Emng. She sai^Amd, "I knew something was ^Cmwrong. You ain't ca^Glled here ^Fin too lon^Emg. Take the car and ^Amrun. Take the car and ^Cmrun. Take the car and r^Gun."
