Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro Part 2:

Little did I know it then

 The pictures on the heads of pins

 ‘Be easier than living is

Easier to watch you die

Lost what little luck was left

 It’s not enough to pay the rent

Not enough to force repentance

Not enough to make you pray

And don’t tell me ‘bout the sins of man

I’ve felt the sting of God’s right hand

I find him after school in bed

And don’t know if he’s drunk or dead

A slow but steady breath means

Live to wreck another day

It’s terrible to cross my mind

That I should do him in this time

And I could find a better life

Become a burden on the state

You can’t run when it’s all you know

You’ll just have to wait to go

(Guitar just plays C for the bridge)

And you can’t hurt me ‘cause I’ve been true

Your horrid life caught up to you

But I got bruises that you can’t see

If there’s a god, take him from me.

End on C
