C F
Little did I know it then
Am G
The pictures on the heads of pins
C F
‘Be easier than living is

Easier to watch you die
C F
Lost what little luck was left
Am G
It’s not enough to pay the rent
C F
Not enough to force repentance
G
Not enough to make you pray
F G C F
And don’t tell me ‘bout the sins of man
Am G C
I’ve felt the sting of God’s right hand
I find him after school in bed
And don’t know if he’s drunk or dead
A slow but steady breath means
Live to wreck another day
It’s terrible to cross my mind
That I should do him in this time
And I could find a better life
Become a burden on the state
You can’t run when it’s all you know
You’ll just have to wait to go
(Guitar just plays C for the bridge)
And you can’t hurt me ‘cause I’ve been true
Your horrid life caught up to you
But I got bruises that you can’t see
If there’s a god, take him from me.
End on C
