Verse1-

A Thousand pairs of fiery eyes

Burn like a serpent down the hwy 5

A B E

As the Long amber tail to Los Angeles unwinds

I've got resurrection down in side my skin

But for all my revealating

I just can’t make sense

B E

Of this gravity we're in

Chorus-

C#m

Cause I'm a dead man now with a ghost who lives

Within the confines of these carbon ribs

A B

And one day when I'm free

C#m

I will sit

B E B

The cripple at your table

A B E

The cripple by your side

Verse2-

A thousand miles of pain I'm sure

Led you to the threshold of my hearts screen door

A E

To tell me what it is I'm dying for

Gravity comes like a cold cold rain

To lead me to the rope again

A B E

But someone is standing in my place

Bridge-

C#m B

And I sit beside you

A B

And I sit beside you
