Blue October - Kangaroo Cry

C Am Em
losing my control
C Am Em
here it is the day i have to go

just sit beside me
C Am Em
i can’t let this show
C Am Em
how sick i feel to leave you so alone
C
god i’m terrified

G C
we’ve lost respect for decency
G
when one could turn our world into an ant pile
G C
we run circles , no direction do i see
G C
the dust has blinded you , the dust has blinded me

C G
i kissed her on the cheek and then i waved goodbye
C G
she had the saddEst look ive seen in years – a kangaroo cry
C G C
a warm pathetic ocean flow we have to live by
G
we have to live by
C
because we have to live

G
and you choose to break our families
C F
tell me you’ve used all precautions known

and i’ll stand beside the ones who stood alone
G C
how long will we have to sing until you finally bring our sons ,
F
our daughters home?

we’ll let the prayers start healing , what time’s been stealing

interlude : C Am Em x2

C Am Em
we only want to feel as close as we can be
C Am Em
use hands for holding on to your precious family
C Am
just believe in all who shine

Em
the light to help you see
C Am Em
cause if i believe in you , will you believe in me?
