Padriac My Prince
Bright Eyes
Normal Tuning
Am
I had a brother once
G
He drowned in a bathtub
F E Am
before he'd ever learned how to talk
G
And I don't know what his name was
F
but my mother does
E
I heard her say it once
Am
Padraic my prince, I have all but died
G
From the sheer weight of my shame
F
You cried but no one came
E
And the water filled your tiny lungs
Am
Appear, my dear, and cry for me
G
Six years ago today
F
That I laid you in your grave
E
Your sweet young skin was shining then too
Am F
So tonight to celebrate i will...
G
I will poison myself
Am F
Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom
G
That is spinning
C G
So I close the door
Am
And I rest my head on the tile floor
C G Am
Sickness and sleep turning me cold
C G
I'm still not sure
Am F
Is there some better place I could be heading towards?
C G Am
Where the selfishly sick and self-absorbed...
Am
Are welcome
Am
I saw the future once
G
I was drunk in a phone booth
F
My eyes were wet and red
E Am
But I could not tell what was said
G
And through the screams of the traffic
F
Voices carried
E
Saying I'm sorry
Am
On a day so gray it's black inside
G
Watching churches on TV
F
In a coma you don't dream
E
You just hope that someone sits with you
Am
Babies turn blue when they're ignored
G
Like the sky on summer days
F
Before you turn and walk away
E
It has changed you
Am F
So tonight to compensate I will...
G
I will poison myself
Am F
Another coughing, shaking fit in a bathroom
G
That is spinning
Am E
Good Song.
Listen to song for strumming, it's pretty easy...
Have fun.
