The Gaslight Anthem - 1930

^AmGive me mercy and a minute n^Fow, I'ma bleed a little poison o^Cut, I'ma cry a little river d^Gown, Then I'm setting this whole thing on f^Amire. And I'm burning up the night she d^Fied, I'm putting every last picture as^Cide, I'm gonna say what I need to s^Gay, In my very last letter to y^Amou. Cause you always made it cl^Fear, Said you'd never be my p^Cain. So here's to you and your br^Gight baby blues, And just a pause to cool the refr^Amain. And you said you were satisf^Fied, That this body just weighted the t^Cide. And that you missed him sometimes, but you s^Gaid it's alright, It's just a whole lot harder al^Amone.

But ^CI, I wish you knew her n^Gow, She's a better side of me ^Amnow. And I'm doing the best I c^Fan, It's what you'da wanted.^C And I see like you were t^Ghere, And I know just how you'd s^Ammile, Mary you looked just li^Fke, It was 1930 that n^Fight.

^AmBut here the days will eat you al^Five, But I won't give in ton^Cight. You said it's not worth my t^Gime, And not to regard them.^Am And not to settle just for piece of m^Find, I could wait it out all ni^Cght. If I just keep breathing ^{G Am}....But Mary I found the s^Found, And if this heart keeps pouring it o^Cut The glory hasn't come, and it's p^Grobably gonna fade, Like a tattoo that hides the s^Amhame. And the reasons always f^Fade, And the pain gives out some d^Cay, So I'm saying my goodbyes to your d^Geep blue eyes, Cause I don't know how to ^Amsay ^{G F} Stay still in the p^Amain,^{G F} "Stay still in the p^Amain.^G" ^{F G}

But ^CI, I wish you knew her n^Gow, She's a better side of me ^Amnow. And I'm doing the best I c^Fan, It's what you'da wanted.^C And I see like you were t^Ghere, And I know just how you'd s^Ammile, Mary you looked just li^Fke, It was 1930 that n^Fight.

And if I rec^Call the l^Gast thing you s^Amaid to me, Before it broke ^Cup, ^G before it took you from ^Fme.

You said I l^Cove you m^Gore than the s^Amtars in the sky, But your n^Ca--aa--a^Gme just es^Fcapes me tonight. You said I l^Cove you m^Gore than the s^Amtars in the sky, But your n^Ca--aa--a^Gme just es^Fcapes me tonight. ^C
