Dark and Mad written by Billy Bob Thornton and Marty Stuart 1/27/06 INTRO: E E A E Why is this window so dirty and gray E A E I can't see you through it anymore E A E It may be the smoke, it's hard to say E A E The fact is this place has too many doors I can't find a handle on any of them Maybe I see one but I don't wanna turn it What if I did and it opened on him Ain't truth a b***h when you're havin' to learn CHORUS: B A E Before a heart breaks it has to bend A B It's the last one to know when love comes to an end A E And here I sit crazy, lonesome and sad D A E Watchin' me dark and mad D A E Watchin' me dark and mad This cigarette burns like the pain in my soul When the fire gets too hot the ash turns to coal The smoke tells a story, it's sad but it's true It turns into a ghost that looks just like you Well I close my eyes and I silently scream My mind comes and goes, it drifts and it dreams The cold hand of death is welcomin' warm It's the essence of love in it's darkest form CHORUS D A E Watchin' me dark and mad D A E Watchin' me dark and mad OUTRO: E
