Introduction:
G
We all woke up that morning
Am C
Claw marks on our little faces
G Em
The dull thud from the treetops
C D7
The echo in the hollow places
C G
Rose up high and lonely
C G
Wringing my hands, grinding my teeth
Em G
All the triumph overhead
C D G
All the disaster underneath

G
Spat out my morning prayers
Am C
Desperate pleas and vicious lies
G Em
Felt the sunlight through the grating
C D7
Covered up my eyes

Woke up feeling awful

Shook my head to drive the ghosts way
Em G
This is just a flesh wound

Heard the voices through the air vents

Listen to them squeal
G Em
The great big world is out there
C D7
The hidden one beneath my heel

Called up my sister in Reseda

Left a message at the tone

All the points where contact fails us
C D G
All of the dead spots in the zone

And the acid in my throat
Am C
Every time i try to talk
G Em
The songs that keep me up at night
C D7
Standing on that solid rock
C G
Rose up high and dry and lonely
C G
Stumbled coming out the gate

This is just a paper cut

And it will scab over just you wait
