Chords

G [Verse 1]
G
The sun brings up yesterday's evils

    D
And drags them back into the sky

C
I have not long enough arms, my love

   Am                        D
To reach for the curtains of life

    G
The days have a thing for believers

       D
As the night has it hands in your eyes

    C
And it may not just be tomorrow

   Am                      D
It may be the rest of your life
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G
Here is a song for the lonely

      D
And a prayer whispered into the night

Am                         C
For a withered cunt with a broken love

      D7                       G
And a thorn wedged in his side
Em Am D [Chorus]
             Am
Food for the worms

              C
Blood for the trees to grow

           G
Muscle and bone

         D
Arrogant soul

             Am
Song for the birds

           C
Covered in apathy

        G
Carving goodbye

                    D
In the back of your throne

            Am
This is the fight

          C
Losing my sanity

          G
Losing my mind

           D
Find it my home

              Am
I don't blame me

            G
I'm growing old
Em Am D [Verse 2]
    G
You limp through the small conversations

         D
From the weight your back foot has to bear

       C
As you empty your guts to the alley

    Am                     D
And sweep up the yesterday prayers

      G
These days I'm a sucker for tenses

  D
I write in the third person now

        C
And the days I'm not swinging for fences

    Am                      D
I'm singing for ways to get out
[Pre-Chorus 2]
    G
And here is a song for the empty

  D
A prayer uttered into the ground

        Am                    C
For the broken king, with his arm in a sling

        D                             G
And his hands holding on to his crown
Em Am D [Chorus]
             Am
Food for the worms

              C
Blood for the trees to grow

           G
Muscle and bone

         D
Arrogant soul

             Am
Song for the birds

           C
Covered in apathy

            G
Carving goodbye

                    D
In the back of your throne

             Am
This is the fight

          C
Losing my sanity

          G
Losing my mind

           D
Find it my home

              Am
I don't blame me

            D
I'm growing old

            G
I'm growing old
