Misc Originals – Cole Chrisman - Double Edged Blade (Guitar)

Am                         F
It's a double edged blade, is it joy or is it pain

C                                               G
Yeah, I'm lonely but it feels like that's right where I should stay

Am                                 F
Spent my nights out casting hooks, hoping someone might just take

C                                   G             C
Downtown bars where every smile's a gamble that I make

Am                  F
No true connection, just a touch to keep my soft

C                                G
Another stranger close enough to take those edges off

Am                      F
And I know it's hollow, but it gets me through the night

C                                   G                 C
Till the sun creeps in and shows me everything that I fight

Am                            F
I'm walking that line between breaking and okay

C                                      G
Living off the moments that always seem to fade away

Am                                  F
Searching for something real in the ruins that I've made

C                                 G            C
But nothing cuts deeper than this double edged blade

C                                   G            C
Yeah, nothing cuts deeper than this double edged blade

Am                                       F
I keep drifting through towns that don't bother with my name

C                                         G
Pouring whiskey on the questions that are burning in my brain

Am                               F
If the nights could talk, they'd probably say I never learn

C                              G             C
Chasing warmth in beds where I never plan to return

Am                                F
And every kiss is borrowed, every promise just pretend

C                              G
I'm addicited to the start and allergic to the end

Am                                        F
I ain't proud of what I'm doing, but it's where my hearts been laid

C                             G            C
Trying not to bleed from this double edged blade

Am                              F
Still walking that line between breaking and okay

C                            G
Living off the moments that were never meant to stay

Am                             F
If I ever find something real, I hope it doesn’t fade

C                                     G            C
Cause I’m tired of bleeding from this double edged blade

C                                     G            C
Yeah, I’m tired of bleeding from this double edged blade
