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
