G D
you drag your tigers paw across
C/G Gadd9 *
your chapped & cracking lips ,
Em
and open up a crimson slur
C/G G+
you spread each time you kiss .
Am Em
the broken boy you bargain with
C/G D Gadd9
to turn back to the man
Am
that you fell in love with once
C/G
but never saw again .
G C/G D Em
is he in there? do you think he drowned to death?
A7 C/G Gadd9 D
well it’s his decision to show his face again .
G D
you grind your tired teeth
C/G Gadd9 *
& curse the day that you were born
Em C/G G+
to a sunken line of irish wives a million miles long ,
Am Em C/G D Gadd9
devoted to the suffering they’re certain they deserve .
Am
a husbands a cross to bear ,
C/G
worry lines & a silver string of hair
G C/G D Em
come too early , come to steal your sainted youth
A7 C/G G D
well it’s your decision to stay or else to move .
C/G G
& i’m not a man of faith , no gospel oak for me ,
C/G G D
but you wear a crucifix to broadcast your beliefs ,
Am Am/B Em D C
and the god i’ve read about can’t go where he’s not asked to go .
Am
so you’ve got a choice to make :
C/G
shut him out , save yourself , or sit and wait .
G C/G G D Em
but you’re waiting on a man who will not move .
A7 C/G G
so you must move for him and do what he can’t do .
( mute ) G C/G C/G D Em
cause its worth it , thats the one life you can change ,
A7 C/G G
and i’m sorry sister , but it has to end this way .
A7 C/G G
