Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Every night

You wrote another line

With a blood, broken, bottle

And every day

You wish it away

Why don't you pull the pin

 On that grenade you coddle

I wanted to believe

Bodies swinging from trees

Struggling to stand

With your head in your hands

A stoic last stand

Of a dying man

I wanted to believe

 As I watched your world

 Crumble in your hands

I wanted to believe

 As you raised your glass

 To your last stand

And I wanted to believe

You would win

 The war in your head

 That I did not understand

 That I did not understand

Every night

 The questions poured out

 Of your wounded eyes

 Damn dark things

Every day

 You used to pray

Listen to the black raven sing

You wanted to believe

As you were falling to your knees

Struggling to stand

 With your life in your hand

The sad last stand

Of a dyin' man

I wanted to believe

 As I watched your world

Crumble in your hands

I wanted to believe

 As you raised your glass

 To your last stand

And I wanted to believe

You would win

 The war in your head

 That I did not understand

That I did not understand

I wanted to believe

 As I watch your world

Crumble in your hands

I wanted to believe

 As you raised your glass

 To your last stand

And I wanted to believe

You would win

 The war in your head

 That I did not understand

 That I did not understand

And the questions pour out,

And the questions pour out

And the questions pour out

And the questions pour out
