Key: G
Introduction:
G C
you were a friend to me when my wheels were off the track
Am C D
and though you say there is no need i intend to pay you back
G C
when my mind was turning loose and all my thoughts were turning black
Am C D
you shined a light on me and i intend to pay you back
G C
when i was a child i depended on a bottle
Am C D
and full grown i've been known to lean on a bible
G C
but you're the real deal in a world of imposters
Am C D
and i've seen the program make men out of monsters
(Chorus)
C G
'cause i still wake up shaken by dreams
C G
and i hate to say it but the way it seems
C D G C
is that no one is fine
D G
take the time to peel a few layers
Em
and you will find
C D G
true sadness
G C
adam and eve must have really done a number
Am C D
on that garden when the apple was finished
G C
leaving behind them a den made of sadness
Am C D
and damn if that can't or won't be replenished
(Chorus)
C G
angela became a target
D G
as soon as her beauty was seen
C G
by young men who try to reduce her down
Am D
to a scene on an x-rated screen
C G
is she not more than the curve of her hips
C G
is she not more than the shine on her lips
C G D
does she not dream to see and to live and to dance down her own path
Am D
without being torn apart
C
does she not have a heart
G C
i cannot go on with this evil inside me
Am C D
i step out my front door and i feel it surround me
G C
just know the kingdom of god is within you
Am C D
even though the battle is bound to continue
(Chorus)
Em C
true sadness
Em C
true sadness
D G
true true sadness
(ending)
