Introduction:
Em
I've been misplaced in so many ways
Bb Em
Broken battlegrounds hiding veils of delicate deceit
Am
Yet here I breathe
Em
Teeth still gleam from holy water
C
While millions of lambs migrate to the slaughter
B7 Em Am
My head in a bag and my hands are bound to my feet
B7
"Were we erased like common thieves?
Em
Tossed in a cell to feast with the fleas
B7 C
All because we never written a word."
G
What will I see tonight in these eyes
D Em C
And what will I know when the morning comes?
Em D G
What will I see tonight in these eyes
D Em C Em D
And what will I know when the morning comes?
B7 Em
Must we remind of exchanges existing so long ago?
B7
Would we arrive at agreeable musings?
Em D C
Sentimental or just confusing
B7
We lost what we had but we took it back
Am G C
Friends in the gutter enjoy one another
B7 C
Just give yourself to the dust and the dirt where you stand
Em D G
What will I see tonight in these eyes
D Em C
And what will I know when the morning comes?
Em D G
What will I see tonight in these eyes
D Em C
And what will I know when the morning comes?
Em G Am
I'm not who you think I am
B7 C
And even if I thought you'd known
B7 Am
I never would have told you so
G
And more alarming
C C#º D
I would have done the very same
C C#º D
Would have stole more than your name
C C#º D D#º Am
Would have cursed and bought the world on your shoulders
B7
I was in the wrong place... At the right time
Em D G
And what's the worst I'd see
D Em C
By giving myself to the earth below me
Em D G
Not knowing how far I'd fall
D Em C
by casting away the ordinary?
Em D G
Just how long can I stay
D Em C
in illusions formed here long before me?
Em D G
And how long can I breathe
D Em C
the stolen breath here undeneath?
E G D C
There's that subtle smile that did me in
D E G D C
She moves an agony reminds where I've been
D E G C
She breathes "I'd never let this happen again."
Where's her heart?
