Intro Part 1: C
Intro Part 2: C F Am G C F G
CLittle did I know it tFhen
The pAmictures on the heads of Gpins
'Be Ceasier than living Fis
GEasier to watch you die
CLost what little luck was Fleft
It's Amnot enough to pay the Grent
CNot enough to force reFpentance
GNot enough to make you pray
FAnd don't tell Gme 'bout theC sins of Fman
AmI've felt the stiGng of God's right hCand
I find him after school in bed
And don't know if he's drunk or dead
A slow but steady breath means
Live to wreck another day
It's terrible to cross my mind
That I should do him in this time
And I could find a better life
Become a burden on the state
You can't run when it's all you know
You'll just have to wait to go
(Guitar just plays C for the bridge)
And you can't hurt me 'cause I've been true
Your horrid life caught up to you
But I got bruises that you can't see
If there's a god, take him from me.
End on C
