The Hold Steady
Lord, I'm Discouraged
Tabbed by: Johan Watchtower
Intro E – A – F#m – A
ELord, I'm discouAraged
F#mThe circles have sucked in her eyeAs
ELord, I'm discouAraged
F#mHer new friends have shadowed her life A
ELord, I'm discouAraged
F#mShe ain't come out dancing for some Atime
EAnd I'm trying to light candles A
F#mBut they burn down to nothing
AAnd she keeps coming up with
EExcuses Dsus2and halfA-truths and fortified wine
Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
EThere's a house on the soutDsus2h side
Where she stays in forA days at a time
I know I'm no angel
I ain't been bad that way
Can't you hear her?
She's that sweet missing songbird
When the choir sings on Sundays
And I'm almost busted

But I bought back the jewellery she sold
And I come to your altar
And then there's just nothing
And she keeps insisting
The sutures and bruises are none of my business
She says that she's sick
But she won't get specific
The sutures and bruises are none of my business
This guy from the north side
Comes down to visits
His visits, they only take five or six minutes
Bm C#m A (Not sure about this part)
Lord, I'm sorry to question your wisdom
But my faith has been wavering
Won't you show me a sign,
And let me know that you're listening?
Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
I know it's unlikely she'll ever be mine
So I mostly just pray she don't die
Awesome song from one of the best albums 2008.
