Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

There is a man in this world, who has never smiled

You may know his tragedy, the later years, by heart

In the beginning, there was a mother, a father, and a child

A troubled little silent boy, whose life they worked to destroy

Known to us from this day on by his father, Caleb..

 His mother came up with such a clever way to save the day with a little white lie

 He thinks he missed the point back then, but now he's grown to understand it, in a way

Father said "I'm sorry" only once, as I remember

The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son

 One person can make a difference, sometimes

 Just turn his head when the kid is still and has a weak neck

 [

Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."

All his solutions, it seemed, were only problems in disguise

Glueing on his drinkin' face, got ready to erase another day

Mother was yet confident, although they had it tight, taught her son

 At the end of every tunnel's a little light

 It wasn't a lie, it was her hope, that everything would be fine one day

He can fulfill his every dream, I'm happy as long as he's not

Lost hopes, all those kind words could hurt him even more, now

Somehow, lost one more way back home

 Out on the lake, he rows towards a monster he should've been running away from, years ago

 The past had made him blind to the way he'd turned the pain into a way of life

(TIME CHANGE 6/8)

Over the hills, under the sea, fighting the will, whole Universe

Why does a man driving a hearse live in fear, Gift and a Curse

Taking 'em out, taking 'em all, shooting the wall, over and out

When nothing moves, all's well, a decision he can find a way to live with

 ...And dried up flowers are so beautiful

 And it applies to all things living, and dead

 For that I serve my time... in my suite in Hell

 Now I ring the bell to tell the world

 I'm ready when they bring out the soon to be dead against the wall

Oooh.. This necessary evil has no heart

Flowers and people he will now enlace

 A price he must pay serving a cold ..whateverGod
