Done day you just get Gtired of Dcrying
Grunnin' can't esAcape the beating GheartA  
Done day you just get Gtired of Ddying
Gliving can't escAape the beating GmarchA  
        but a Dm7higher bloom unEm7veils
        in a Alowdown dirty Gday
        and Dm7all that dreams entEm7ail
        come and Atake your suffering aGwayA  
        Dthis eye looks with Em7love
        Athis eye looks with jDudgement
        Dfree me take the D/Esight out Aof this GeyeA  
Done night the howlin' Gdog sings a Dlullaby
Gdrift you into Apeaceful memoGriesA  
Done night the howlin' Gdog cries out Dlonely life
Gbreak you like the lAight between the Gtrees
        and they Dm7say sacrifEm7ice
        is lAetting sweet love Ggo
        Dm7never build a Em7damn
        Awall to stop the GflowA  
        this eye...
Call I can Ghope for is a Flight to Csee
when I Fsearch in the Cdark for my Gsoul
and Fwhen my Csoul comes to Em7rescue Cme
I rEm7est my Am7resistance fall Cpiece by Em7piece into Am7peace
and Fslip like the Cwater back iEm7nto the Amsea
        this eye....
