C F
Little did I know it then
Am G
The pictures on the heads of pins
C F

Easier to watch you die

Lost what little luck was left
Am G
It??s not enough to pay the rent
C F
Not enough to force repentance
G
Not enough to make you pray
F G C F
And don??t tell me ??bout the sins of man
Am G C
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
