Destroyer by Dead Man Winter

----------------------------------------------------

[Intro]

G C D

[Verse]

G C D

Little paper, where you write down your

G C D

disappointments In a drawer right by your pillow,

G C D G C D

all I can do is watch

G C D

Little children, more beautiful than

G C D

heaven They run around

G C D G C D

together, while I just curl up and cough

G C D

There were the oak trees and they were older than I remember

G C D

They are changing with the

G C D G C D

seasons and I will do the same

[Interlude]

(Recording doesn't have chords but you can play G C D a couple times)

[Verse]

G C D

Yeah it’s over and it hurts like hell to

G C D

say it But I'm churning under

G C D G C D

water, what a peaceful way to go

G C D

And all of the boxes, that are filled with my

G C D

possessions On the truck that I have

G C D G C D

hired, it’s outside beneath the snow

[Bridge]

C G D

I thought I’d get up and go,

C G D

before anyone would know

[Verse]

G C D

I'm a disaster, I am fading from your

G C D

young life I'm growing pale and

G C D G C D

ghost white, with X’s on my eyes

G C D

I’m a Destroyer, I’m burning in the

G C D

starlight All I wanted then was to

G C D G C D

die, but you would not let me go

[Outro]

G C D
