[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
CI am the boy your mother wanted you to meet but I am 
  Ambroken and torn with heels at my feet
And Fwith your purest light why don't you shine on me
Well, I Cshould have been an angel but I'm too dumb to speak
  CNow as she gets nearer, the visions get clearer
  AmI'm kneeling, weeping. I will hold her dear
Oh, Fif your eyes water, you've got your favorite number to Cspin
[Chorus]
And Amoh, ohhFhhhhhhhhhChhhhhGhhhChhhhhhh
What a crying Amshame, a crying Fshame
What we becCameG  C  
[Verse 2]
 CMurdered my throat, screaming bloody all night
AmHit him with a book and how he crumbles
FOh, you should have seen how the arches tumble
They're Cgolden no more, now I'm smiling in my blood
  CI'm caught in a whirlwind
I'm going to hAmeaven
I'm standing on trial and it's painted on caFnvas
An eternal testament to how we are so Canimalistic
[Chorus]
And oAmh, ohhFhhhhhhhhhChhhhhGhhhChhhhhhh
What a crying Amshame, a crying Fshame
What we becCameG  C  
[Verse 3]
 CI bowed my head in the morning light and said goodnight
  AmI held her hand and I, I kissed her eyes
FStumbled down the stairs and hang myself on high
And I Cstarted for the town, lyin' in the front yard and died

Deer Tick - Ashamed

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I am the boy your mother wanted you to meet but I am

broken and torn with heels at my feet

And with your purest light why don't you shine on me

Well, I should have been an angel but I'm too dumb to speak

Now as she gets nearer, the visions get clearer

I'm kneeling, weeping. I will hold her dear

F C

Oh, if your eyes water, you've got your favorite number to spin

[Chorus]

Am F C G C

And oh, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Am F

What a crying shame, a crying shame

C G C

What we became

[Verse 2]

Murdered my throat, screaming bloody all night

Hit him with a book and how he crumbles

Oh, you should have seen how the arches tumble

They're golden no more, now I'm smiling in my blood

I'm caught in a whirlwind

I'm going to heaven

I'm standing on trial and it's painted on canvas

An eternal testament to how we are so animalistic

[Chorus]

Am F C G C

And oh, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Am F

What a crying shame, a crying shame

C G C

What we became

[Verse 3]

I bowed my head in the morning light and said goodnight

I held her hand and I, I kissed her eyes

Stumbled down the stairs and hang myself on high

And I started for the town, lyin' in the front yard and died
