Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Come on take me down

 Once it's lost you know we won't ever have it back

 And there was nothing I could do to change the facts

 You know I tried, you know I tried

 I threw you all I have

 I should have known It never falls just where you plan

 And there are rules I was not meant to understand

 I should have known, I should known

 Understand I should have known, I should have known

 And so I'm giving you the gun

 Put your finger on the trigger

 I've known you in the morning with your soft eyes dreaming

You were the one

 Who could blind me with the mirror

 And I can't see

 And I don't need this no more

 You put your love upon the cross

 You know you sealed it in the darkness all along

 Did you think that I could roll away the stone

 I'm just a child, I'm just a child

 You know I tried, I'm just a child, I'm just a child

 And so I'm giving you the gun

 Put your finger on the trigger

 I've known you in the morning with your soft eyes dreaming

You were the one

 Who could break me with the whisper

 And I'm broken

 And I won't take your time no more

Mother make my bed

 A lady shot me and she's left me here to die

 Sit beside me now and promise You won't cry

 when I am gone, when I am gone

 You won't cry when I am gone, when I am gone

 Now you won't cry when I am gone, when I am gone

 Now you won't cry when I am gone, when I am gone

I've put the original lyrics here, but he's changed the lyrics lately. This is the

alternative version.

Come on take me out

When I am gone you know I'm never coming back

And now there's nothing I could do to change the facts,

You know I tried

You know I tried

I threw you all I had

From the night we spent down Congress Avenue

I should've known that I was never there with you

I should've known

I should've known

Oh with you

I should've known

I should've known

So I'm giving you the gun, put your finger to the trigger

Take me out then in the morning when we're done dreaming

You were the one who could blind me with a mirror

And I'm blinded and I won't take your time no more

And I would've worn your cross

But you sealed it in the darkness all alone

Did you think that I could roll away the stone

I'm just a child

I'm just a child

You know I tried

I'm just a child

I'm just a child

So I've given you the gun put your finger to the trigger

Take me out then in the morning when we're done dreaming

You were the one who could blind me with the mirror

And I'm blinded and I won't take your time no more

Sister, make my bed, if I'm shot

You know I'd hold your hand to die

Sit beside me now and promise you won't cry

When I am gone

When I am gone

Now you won't cry

When I am gone

When I am gone

Now you won't cry

When I am gone

And I am gone

-Vic.
