However Long
By: Jason Isbell $ The 400 Unit
INTRO:   A    D    F#    A    D  F#  
See the man with the Amilitary mind
Tryin' to make us all aF#mfraid all the time
Tryin' to make us all Dstay inside and Elock our doors and F#mwindows
See the man's got Atoo much to count
Tryin' to recollect the F#mSermon on the Mount
Blessed are the Dpoor when they're all Eswinging from the F#mgallows
PRE-CHORUS:
But I ain't aDfraid no more, I ain't aAfraid no more
I ain't aDfraid no more, no I ain't aEfraid
CHORUS:
'Cause however Along the night, the Ddawn will break aF#mgain
We'll be aAround when you have Dlost your oldest F#mfriends
There's nothin' Ayou can say or Ddo to us to Bmdrown out this aF#mmen
'Cause however Along the night, the Ddawn will break aF#mgain
See the poet with Anothin' left to say
Starin' down at blank F#mpages all day
Let the alcohol Dtake you away Eand sleep the way F#mfools do
See the beast with the Agasoline hand
Breathin' fire, drawF#min' lines in the sand
Pray we find ourDselves a better plan and Edie the way we useF#md to
PRE-CHORUS:
But I ain't aDfraid no more, I ain't aAfraid no more
I ain't aDfraid no more, no I ain't aEfraid
CHORUS:
However Along the night, the Ddawn will break aF#mgain
We'll be aAround when they have Dfound your next of F#mkin
There's nothin' Ayou can say or Ddo to us to Bmdrown out this aF#mmen
'Cause however Along the night, the Ddawn will break aF#mgain
BRIDGE:
See the woman with the Droses in her hair
Bringin' lovin' when it's Atoo much to bear
Tell me I can make a Ddifference this time
All I gotta do is Emake it all rhyme
