C/G

Gadd9

Am/B

G D

you drag your tiger’s paw across

C/G Gadd9

your chapped & cracking lips,

and open up a crimson slur

C/G G

you spread each time you kiss.

Am Em

the broken boy you bargain with

C/G D Gadd9

to turn back to the man

that you fell in love with once

C/G

but never saw again.

G C/G D Em

is he in there? do you think he drowned to death?

A7 C/G Gadd9 D

well it's his decision to show his face again.

G D

you grind your tired teeth

C/G Gadd9

& curse the day that you were born

Em C/G G

to a sunken line of Irish wives a million miles long,

Am Em C/G D Gadd9

devoted to the suffering they're certain they deserve.

a husband’s a cross to bear,

C/G

worry lines & a silver string of hair

G C/G D Em

come too early, come to steal your sainted youth

A7 C/G G D

well it's your decision to stay or else to move.

C/G G

& I'm not a man of faith, no gospel oak for me,

C/G G D

but you wear a crucifix to broadcast your beliefs,

Am Am/B Em D C

and the god I've read about can't go where he's not asked to go.

so you've got a choice to make:

C/G

shut him out, save yourself, or sit and wait.

G C/G G D Em

but you're waiting on a man who will not move.

A7 C/G G

so you must move for him and do what he can't do.

G C/G C/G D Em

(mute)

cause it’s worth it, that’s the one life you can change,

A7 C/G G

and I'm sorry sister, but it has to end this way.

A7 C/G G

yea, it’s scary sister, but tomorrow’s just too late.

(Single strums)

so stand up sister,

C G

there’s an albatross to shake.
