Cutting Off The Blood To Ten

capo on 2nd fret

( verse )
C G F
well i didn’t think that it would end like this
G F
cutting of the blood to ten
G Am
with a rope around my wrist

C G F
but i think that every one imagines why
G F
and where it is they’re gonna die
G Am
and when it happens do we fly?

( chorus )
F C G
and i wished i could’ve told my son
Am G F
that i was the coward one
Am G F G
it’s never admirable when your father can’t move on

( verse )
well i never thought that you would slip inside
your brothers unfaithful wife
while the children were down the stairs
i saw what you were doing

( chorus ( modified ) extra Am – G – F before the Am – G – F – G )
and i wished that i had burnt that goddamn door
finding both of you on the floor
realizing your brides a whore
Am G F G
really takes an enormous toll on your head

( verse )
well i didn’t think that you could craft this song
sleeping with the devil and all
and i can hear you sing along

( chorus )
and i wish i could’ve told the lord
to sever me at the cord
cause the moment i left i would never come back no more

( verse )
so i hope it actually ends for me this way
cause tomorrow is another day
and i have to decide to stay or stay

( verse )
for now i’ll keep my hands around this thing
and wait for an apostle to sing
you’re never allowed to come in

G F C
so just sink or swim
