C Em
I woke up this morning,with ribbons in my bed,
C
I could not remember how they had got there
Em C
just the warmth from someone's body gone.
Em
My body's aching, my mind it cannot rest.
C
My thoughts are vacant, there's a rattle in my chest
Em
too old to be playing these games again.
Chorus:
G C Em
I was hoping to change, just I never did.
G C Em
And now I'm kicking the cage, to get rid of it.
Verse 2
C Em
Hands full of splinters, there's timber in my skin.
C
You'd probably hate this, but I am used to it.
Em C
I cannot fake it, but I do.
Held down in some late-night bar,
Em
where the pretty girls know who you are,
C Em
trying to find your heart in all those hopeless faces.
Chorus:
G C Em
And I was hoping to change, just I never did.
G C Em
Now I'm kicking the cage, right in front of it.
G C Em
I'm so sick of the rage, I can't get rid of it.
G C Am Em C
And with nobody to blame, I'm in the thick of it - and I walk as a man alone.
Bridge:
A Em
So what you're chasing,
A Em
you think is noble and right,
A G
I guess you'll learn in time,
G Em
you're not entitled to anything.
Chorus:
G C Em
So won't you hand me the reigns, for the thrill of it.
G C Em
You see I got what it takes, just to handle it.
G C Em
Won't you tell me I'm great, I'm in need of it.
G C
It's not a question of blame, so stand in front of it.
Am Em C Am Em C
And I walk as a man alone, oh I walk as a man alone,
Am Em C
no I walk as a man alone.
This is my first Tab. I know it's not 100%, especially the bridge,
but if anyone could help out it would be greatly appreciated :)
