BACK DOWN THE BLACK
Am C F
You're hurting I can tell by the way that you move
Am C
You got your head on your chest and your chest in your mouth
F
You don't look so good
Am C F
There'll be change 'cause this one's to big not to see
Am C
But brother you're scared and I'm scared when you're scared
F
'Cause you ain't supposed to be
Dm F Am
So I'll scream out loud, won't you get out my way
F Am
'Cause I got the animal I've got the beast on a leash these days
F Am
So you don't go wondering back down the black to that awful place
Dm F Am
And help is well on it's way,
C F Dm
You taught me too much to sit back and watch you this wayy
Just to watch you this way
Am C F x2
Am C F
There's a light sound that comes around like a raven in flight,
Am C F
A shivering child as the car windows left open over night
Am C
And I watched it light up the moon again,
F
And I watched it all disappear
Am C F
Oh tether of life won't you shepherd me home again dear
Dm F Am
So I scream out loud, won't you get out my way
F Am
'Cause I got the animal I've got the beast on a leash these days
F Am
So you don't go wondering back down the black to that awful place
Dm F Am
And help is well on it's way,
C F Dm
You taught me too much to sit back and watch you this wayy
C F
And I've been back down the black now before
Dm
And I won't watch you this way
No I won't watch you this way
C F Dm x4
C F Dm
Oh my legs don't work and my limbs all hurt
C F Dm
As my body aches to take the weight that's been thrown down on top of you
C F
Like you would do too
Dm C F
Oh my legs don't work and my limbs all hurt
Dm C F
As my body aches to take the weight that's been thrown down on top of you
Dm C
Like you would do too
F Dm C
Oh my legs don't work and my limbs all hurt
F Dm C
As my body aches to take the weight that's been thrown down on top of you
F Dm
Like you would do too
C F Dm
Oh my legs don't work and my limbs all hurt
C F Dm x2
