capo on first fret
verses : G
i can feel a hot one taking me down ,
for a moment i can feel the force .
Em
veiny to the point of tears and you were
C D G
holding on to make a point . whats the point?
G
i Am but a clean man , stable and alone man
make it so i won’t have to try
Em
the faces always stay the same
C D
so i’ll face the fact that i’m just fine
G
i said that i’m just fine
G
i remember , head down , after you had found out
manna is a hell of a drug
Em
and i need a little more , i think
C D
because enough is never quite enough
G
what’s enough?
G
i took it like a grown man crying on the pavement
hoping you would show your face
Em
but i haven’t heard a thing you’ve said
C D
in at least a couple hundred days
G
what’d you say?
G
i was in the front seat , shaking it out
and i was asking if you felt all right
Em
i never want to hear the truth
C D
i want to hear your voice , it sounded fine
G
my voice is sounding fine
G
i could feel my heartbeat taking me down
and for the moment , i would sleep all right
Em
veiny with a selfish fear
C D
to keep me up another restless night
G
another restless night
outro : C G Em
your blood was dry , it was sober , and the feeling
D C
audible cracks . . . .
C G Em
and i could tell it was over from the curtains
D C
that hung from your neck
C G
and i realized that then you were perfect
Em D C
with my teeth ripping out of my head
C G
and it looked like a painting i once knew
Em D C
back when my thoughts weren’t entirely intact
C G
so i prayed for what i thought were angels
Em
ended up being ambulances
C G
and the lord showed me dreams of my daughter
Em D C
she was crying inside your stomach
C Cm G
. . . and i felt love . . . again .
