Standard (EADGBE)

Call this on my awful luck

 Skies they opened wide for us

Oh, what a heavy rain it was that covered all of you

The wind has changed, my boy

 I never knew a voice like yours

 But I know just what good it was, that lie you hold on to.

But to call those shadows coming after you

Go on, go on

 I couldn't bear to lose

Go on, go on

 I couldn't stand to

They begged you for your awful words

 So let them know the burden of your blues.

It could've been the one you loved

 The visions of the things I'd done

 Well, I wouldn't be the only one if you'd only told the truth.

While they chased you down that night

 I was pulling feathers from your lies

 Oh I swear I saw it in your eyes, you never told it true.

But to call those shadows coming after you

Go on, go on

 I couldn't beg you to

Go on, go on

 I couldn't stand to lose

They begged you for your awful words

 So let them know the burden of your blues

Oh to call those shadows coming after you

Go on, go on

 I couldn't beg you to

Go on, go on

 I couldn't stand to lose

They begged you for your awful words

 So let them know the burden of your blues.
