Radical Face – A Pound Of Flesh (Guitar)

C
my feet plow on from light to dawn 

               Am
my empty belly and my body aches ain't hard to take 

            G        C
next to the weight I carry in my chest 

                                     Am
a pound of flesh could never tip the scale that I've made 

                                G         F
I should have stayed, but I was never wise 

                   G                         Am
I hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night

      F                   G                               C
and I pray to whatever is listening things will be alright

                   Am
oh, my boy, you're alive

                   G
your heart's still beating 

   C                         Am
so don't you mind, don't you mind 

             G
we all drift sometimes

F                     G                        Am
I can still hear your feet as you ran from the house

            F            G 
but knowing you won't be back, 

        Am                    E
doesn't mean that I will stop waiting 

F                         G                         Am                
you told me then: Hold me down or hold me up to the fire, 

              F            G
but don't you dare hold me back.

F                G                           Am
I see your faces in the clouds that scar the night 

      F                  G                               C               
and I pray to whoever is listening things will be alright

     Am                      G
then today I wake up feeling easy, 

         C                        F
and find I'm on the more familiar roads 

        Am               G
I got a darkness wrapped inside me, 

           C                       F
but now it ain't so hard to let it go

   Am                           G
so keep a candle burning in the window, 

           C
I'm almost home
