Misc Unsigned Bands – Anthony Savino - The Lens (Guitar)

    G                                    C                 G
You taught me to distrust them with that cold look in your eyes

    G                              D7
You told me not to love them but I knew that wasn't right

         Em       G
You were wronged, wronged

    C            G                    D7                  Em
How could I have ignored the way they mistreated you back then

   C             G                    D                                Em  Dsus  G
to find you here trying to clear your head of all these misconceptions

G                                 C               G
She wants to be alone for now, at least until she finds

  G                               D7
a better way to take the days one minute at a time

          Em    G
Now she's gone, gone

         C                  G                        D7          Em
from the stealing eyes that run these streets, she's back in her hometown

  C           G                   D7                               Em  Dsus  G
I figured I'd returned to mine by now, but I know i'll come around

G                                     C              G
They don't seem to notice things that I can't hold inside

G                               D                D7
but it makes the days okay when we can drink and smile

            Em    G    C
It's been a long, long road

                 G                 D7                 Em
down which we've stumbled and I've used more crutches than

C                  G      D7                                     Em  Dsus  G  G7
times I've been an honest friend, and to them I’ll be forever in debt

C     G      Bmaj7
Where have I been

    C             D7             Em
And should I even try to go back home

C G        Bmaj7
I feel the wind

                        C    Cadd9
pushing me pulling me around

            G
rattling my bones

G                              C              G
Now my nightmares outweigh any bouts of confidence

G                                  D7
I try not to doubt the thought of looking through the lens

   Em    G
of song, song

   C                G                       D7             Em
to find out why the days and nights have us in this tug of war

    C                          G        D7
and what the hell are we still fighting for

   Em          Dsus   G
with fingertips grown sore

     C                 G                   D7
from fighting blind to stop the wheels of time

Dsus                   D7          Em  Dsus G  Cadd9  G
from running this poor boy out of line

G                                       C                  G
Were they right, should I have tried to keep face in their game

    G                                   D7
Our parents taught that we all ought to respond well to shame

           Em    Dsus    G
but we're strong, we are strong

   C                  G                D7              Em
in knowing there's no one to blame but us and we can't love

   C                   G              D7
if we throw each other underneath the bus

        C               G                                 Em
for the blunders of our mothers and the blood-run laws of vengeful fathers

     C           G                D7
this pedigree of lies has blinded you and me alike

                                          Em  Dsus  G
well here's to hoping time will shed some light

     C  G  G  G  Cadd9  Em  Dsus  G
Wohoho...
