CAnd I’m a go make mGy bed F  
Tuck in the other sCide 
These confessions are mGine F  
But I’ll not claim a wCord 
CThis restless parade 
Yes I watched it go bFy
Through the cracks in my pCalm 
Seen them all goGne 
Some sequence of liCves 
CWell she calls out alone 
With the pain in her vFoice 
It’s the wound of bCetrayal 
It’s the weapon of chGoice 
Left her heart on dispClay 
Though that she’ll Fdeny 
Two tattoos of sCkin 
One of ice one of tGin 
For the days have gone Cby C7  
But AmI ain’t oFne to reminisCce 
But cAmlose my hFeart and clench my fCists G  
Now the days swiftly pCass 
With the chest full of fFear 
Here the minutes are hCours
But the moments are yGears 
And old acquaintances pCassed 
In trios, in pFairs 
And if they stay or they Cgo 
One struggles to kGnow 
One struggles to cCare C7  
But Amout beyonFd the Ten Tree wCalls 
The wAmind blows hFard the highway cCrawls 
And if Amyou should pFass the JCames HotGel 
PAmlease stop Cin for I kGnew you wFell 
But tAmhat was Foh so long Cago 
And I Amnever lFearned how to let Cgo G  
But when you fear your own fCaults 
And you’re sick of this lFife 
When you’re reckless of hCand 
And trembling the kGnife 
And all your doors prefer lCocks
And your death prefers sFpoons 
Why wouldn’t you wCait one last laugh at fGate 
Forever’s too sCoon C7  
But aAmcross the fField death bell kCnells 
Listen cAmlose heFar the toll tCell 
To Amrun and tFell my dCarling tGrue 
My bAmreath is sChort 
My dGays are fFew 
So pAmlease come Gdown 
And tFake my hGand

basic chords

Capo: 2nd fret

C G F

And I’m a go make my bed

Tuck in the other side

G F

These confessions are mine

But I’ll not claim a word

This restless parade

Yes I watched it go by

Through the cracks in my palm

Seen them all gone

Some sequence of lives

Well she calls out alone

With the pain in her voice

It’s the wound of betrayal

It’s the weapon of choice

Left her heart on display

Though that she’ll deny

Two tattoos of skin

One of ice one of tin

C C7

For the days have gone by

Am F C

But I ain’t one to reminisce

Am F C G

But close my heart and clench my fists

Now the days swiftly pass

With the chest full of fear

Here the minutes are hours

But the moments are years

And old acquaintances passed

In trios, in pairs

And if they stay or they go

One struggles to know

C C7

One struggles to care

Am F C

But out beyond the Ten Tree walls

Am F C

The wind blows hard the highway crawls

Am F C G

And if you should pass the James Hotel

Am C G F

Please stop in for I knew you well

Am F C

But that was oh so long ago

Am F C G

And I never learned how to let go

But when you fear your own faults

And you’re sick of this life

When you’re reckless of hand

And trembling the knife

And all your doors prefer locks

And your death prefers spoons

C G

Why wouldn’t you wait one last laugh at fate

C C7

Forever’s too soon

Am F C

But across the field death bell knells

Am F C

Listen close hear the toll tell

Am F C G

To run and tell my darling true

Am C

My breath is short

G F

My days are few

Am G

So please come down

F G

And take my hand

Am G

My last demand

Am F C

And lead me to some slender rest

Am F C G

And please dismiss what I confess

C F C G Am F C G Am C G F Am G F G Am G Am F C Am F C G C
