Intro: Fm
Fm/AbGm7Fm
There is a man that I know,
Fm/AbGm7Fm
for seventeen years, he never spoke.
DbFm
Guess he had nothing to say,
Fm/AbGm7Gm7b5 Fm
he opened his mouth on Judgement Day.
Fm/AbGm7Fm
I listened with all of my might,
Fm/AbGm7Fm
but was scared by the look in his eyes.
DbFm
Like he'd already lost the fight,
Fm/AbGm7Gm7b5 Fm
and there was no hope ever in sight.
Db
No hope in the air,
Fm
no hope in the water,
Gm7
not even for me,
Gm7b5 Fm
your last serving daughter.
EbCm7AbFm7
Why fear death, be scared of living,
BbmFm/Ab
our hearts are small and ever thinning.
BbmFm/Ab
There is no hope ever of winning,
AbGm7Gm7b5 Fm
oh, why fear death, be scared of living.
Fm/AbGm7Fm
I have seen men provoked,
Fm/AbGm7Fm
and I have seen lives revoked,
DbFm
and I looked at my life and choked.
Fm/AbGm7Gm7b5 Fm
From there no more ever I spoke.
Fm/AbGm7Fm
I can't give up that quick.
Fm/AbGm7Fm
My life is a candle and a wick.
DbFm
You can put it out but you can't break it down,
Fm/AbGm7Fm
in the end we are waiting to be lit.
Db
There's hope in the air,
Fm
there's hope in the water,
Gm7
but sadly not me,
Gm7b5 Fm
your last serving daughter.
Eb/GFm
A friend is a friend forever,
DbFm
and a good one will never leave, never.
Fm/AbGm7Gm7b5 Fm
But you've have never been south of what grows off your mouth,
Fm/AbBbm7Fm
you will never understand, ever.
Fm/AbGm7Fm
You speak minds handed down to you,
Fm/AbGm7Fm
by the lies handed down by your truth,
DbFm
and your angels will dance at your will,
Fm/AbGm7Fm
will mask your scrambling youth.
Fm/AbGm7Fm
I forgave you your short comings,
Fm/AbGm7Fm
and ignored your childish behaviour.
Db
Laid a kiss on your head,
FmFFm7b
and before I left said,
