Dustin Kensrue - Gallows
Capo 6
Em Am
[Verse 1]
Em
You work like every nail sunk
Every floorboard laid
Am
Is another deed erased
Another debt that's paid
Em
Like every story you've erected’s gonna raise you up
Am
So you keep slaving but it never seems to be enough
[Pre-Chorus]
C
And now you're scared that it's all gonna crash to the ground
Em D C
So you tied a knot and started climbing your way down
C
When you find that you've come to the end of your rope
Em D C
Take a look and see where you were putting all your hope
[Chorus]
Em
Cause you built these gallows you've been hanging from
D G
You've been holding to a noose
C
So just let go, just let go
D Em
You built these gallows you've been hanging from
D G
And you got nothing to lose
C
So just let go, just let go
Em Am
[Verse 2]
Em
I love the wood's already rotting
Though you made it clean
Am
You've hated every short cut
Concealed it’s crooked seam
Em
But every flaw will be revealed
Each imperfection shown
Am
Oh, I can hear the wind howl and the timber groan
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus] (x3)
