You taught me to distrust them with that cold look in your eyes
G D7
You told me not to love them but I knew that wasn't right
Em G
You were wronged, wronged
C G D7 Em
How could I have ignored the way they mistreated you back then
C G D Em Dsus G
to find you here trying to clear your head of all these misconceptions
G C G
She wants to be alone for now, at least until she finds
G D7
a better way to take the days one minute at a time
Em G
Now she's gone, gone
C G D7 Em
from the stealing eyes that run these streets, she's back in her hometown
C G D7 Em Dsus G
I figured I'd returned to mine by now, but I know i'll come around
G C G
They don't seem to notice things that I can't hold inside
G D D7
but it makes the days okay when we can drink and smile
Em G C
It's been a long, long road
G D7 Em
down which we've stumbled and I've used more crutches than
C G D7 Em Dsus G G7
times I've been an honest friend, and to them I’ll be forever in debt
C G Bmaj7
Where have I been
C D7 Em
And should I even try to go back home
C G Bmaj7
I feel the wind
C Cadd9
pushing me pulling me around
G
rattling my bones
G C G
Now my nightmares outweigh any bouts of confidence
G D7
I try not to doubt the thought of looking through the lens
Em G
of song, song
C G D7 Em
to find out why the days and nights have us in this tug of war
C G D7
and what the hell are we still fighting for
Em Dsus G
with fingertips grown sore
C G D7
from fighting blind to stop the wheels of time
Dsus D7 Em Dsus G Cadd9 G
from running this poor boy out of line
G C G
Were they right, should I have tried to keep face in their game
G D7
Our parents taught that we all ought to respond well to shame
Em Dsus G
but we're strong, we are strong
C G D7 Em
in knowing there's no one to blame but us and we can't love
C G D7
if we throw each other underneath the bus
C G Em
for the blunders of our mothers and the blood-run laws of vengeful fathers
C G D7
this pedigree of lies has blinded you and me alike
Em Dsus G
well here's to hoping time will shed some light
C G G G Cadd9 Em Dsus G
Wohoho...
