Hidden track on Horizon from Elephants/Teeth Sinking into Heart

Capo on 2nd. pluck the strings however but start with the b string and save the high e

a nice emphasis.

If i could have one wish

if i could have some say

i'd keep you far from home

i'd roll back both my sleeves

and dig under your skin

i'd fix your shattered bones

Dm G

Hold on

C Am

This may hurt you

When I tell you of the truth

we don't get two lives to live

Dm G

It's true

C Am

the only fault I've found in you

is not being free to take

what i would give

If I could bend your pain

into something good

Make you a prouder man

If I could rough you up and

save you with good luck

And show you hope again

so on and so forth
