G
I once kissed a girl
too lately in my time
I keep losing faith
in these dusty dirty dives
she says where will you be
in your dying days
why do you still believe
the son can be saved?
D C G
son, well they'll take you down
D C G
soon they'll be right around
D C G
son, well they'll take you down, stomp on your heart, and they're gone
G
I keep lying here
staring at this fading bulb
shadows pass underneath
as they curse the lives they've bought
words whispered in my ear
telling me it's time to go
D C G
son, well they'll take you down
D C G
soon they'll be right around
D C G
son, well they'll take you down, stomp on your heart, steal all your love, and they're gone
Em G (x4)
D C G
son, well they'll take you down
D C G
soon they'll be right around
D C G
son, well they'll take you down, stomp on your heart, steal all your love, and they're gone
