Capo on 3rd Fret
Am G through the whole song!
AmI was born beneath Ga smoky Amlight,
AmCouldn’t faze me iGf you Amtried,
AmI’ve got a broken father and a Ghead full of gAmhosts,
AmLost my mother to a Gpaper Amwar,
AmLost my mother to a Gpaper Amwar.
(Repeat for next verse)
I don’t know where I’m going but I’m headed there fast,
Burning through the memories of a lifetimes past,
I’m missing that man with the darkened eyes,
He’s got the soul of a lion and the claws and the cry,
Soul of a lion and the claws and the cry.
CHORUS: 
GWell please help mAme understand,
GHow do you smile and shake a cAmruel mans hand,
GPlease help me Amsee the light
GI don’t know how I got here but I Amdon’t want a fight,
GDon’t know how I got here but I Amdon’t want a fight.
Woke up today and the sun had died,
People they shivered but they just couldn’t cry,
There floating on the fumes of war and cash,
Never come together; never want to go last,
Never come together never want to go last.
And where was that man when the sun went down,
Where was that man when I lost my crown?
Where was that man when I needed him most?
In the fallout shelter with the rest of my ghosts,
The fallout shelter with the rest of my ghosts,
The fallout shelter with the rest of my ghosts.

Capo on 3rd Fret

Am G through the whole song!

Am G Am

I was born beneath a smoky light,

Am G Am

Couldn’t faze me if you tried,

Am G Am

I’ve got a broken father and a head full of ghosts,

Am G Am

Lost my mother to a paper war,

Am G Am

Lost my mother to a paper war.

(Repeat for next verse)

I don’t know where I’m going but I’m headed there fast,

Burning through the memories of a lifetimes past,

I’m missing that man with the darkened eyes,

He’s got the soul of a lion and the claws and the cry,

Soul of a lion and the claws and the cry.

CHORUS:

G Am

Well please help me understand,

G Am

How do you smile and shake a cruel mans hand,

G Am

Please help me see the light

G Am

I don’t know how I got here but I don’t want a fight,

G Am

Don’t know how I got here but I don’t want a fight.

Woke up today and the sun had died,

People they shivered but they just couldn’t cry,

There floating on the fumes of war and cash,

Never come together; never want to go last,

Never come together never want to go last.

And where was that man when the sun went down,

Where was that man when I lost my crown?

Where was that man when I needed him most?

In the fallout shelter with the rest of my ghosts,

The fallout shelter with the rest of my ghosts,

The fallout shelter with the rest of my ghosts.
