Intro
E C#m-B-A B C#m-B-A E B E
When switching from E play the the
between the C#m and A transition walk your index finger and play the B on the A string
E C#m
I'd stayed indoors unless you count the front porch
A B
Eaten little, save for cigarettes and fear
C#m
My knife was unsheathed
A
Singing come I will lead you
E
Singing women
B
Singing children
E
Screaming me
E C#m
The home I had made wasn't three years wasted
A B
But the man that I'd become wasted away
C#m
My thoughts turned more sour
A
With each slur I had spouted
E B E
And to reconcile I had to run away
E
I was more than a boy
Though all children will tease
Screaming friends
B
Singing voiceless harmony
E A
When I was a much younger man
E B E
In a town filled with dead factories
E C#m-B-A B C#m-B-A E B E
E
With June came the rain
C#m
And your mother went crazy
A B
She was banging on the door while I did sleep
C#m A
With all the broken glass and the police sirens passing
E B E
I admit I was afraid to be awake
E
I have tired old eyes but my face will betray
B
Sleepless nights bred by guilt of wicked days
C#m
Tell me here in your arms
A
Was I ever that man
E B E
In a town filled with dead factories
E B E
In a town filled with dead factories
E B E
In a town filled with dead factories
