Radical Face – The Deserters Song (Guitar)

Am                     G     E
Skies black, cold and vacant now

Dm           Am
I sat on the hillside

             C
The stars up above me

                 G 
Like pinholes in velvet

                  Am
I listened to the song

       E               Am
That I hoped I'd never hear

Am        G    E
And off behind me

Dm             Am
Guns snap like insects

                   C
We're fighting for causes

                G
We don't really fathom

                 Am
But we'll charge ahead

         E              Am
Bloodied hands feed the flames

Am         G   C    E
Their guns all rain down

C                             Am  Em F
Say your prayers, fall and run

G                          Am G F
This is do or die this time

C                                  Am G
Raise your fist, give 'em hell boys

F
Let's make them wish they'd never lived

Am                                G    E
My eyes locked with a boy on the other side

Dm                       Am
Hands dropped, he stood defenseless

              C
But he wasn't frightened

             G
His face was accepting

               Am
But I couldn't pull

           Em               Am
I couldn't pull, I couldn't pull

   Am G     C   E  Am
And I could see it clear

   Am   G   C   E  Am
To fall was not my fear

   Am   G   C    E  
To make one fall was

        C                 F               C
And the chaos returned, I backed into the trees

        Am          Em                F           G
Left my guns on the ground, wiped the mud from my knees

      C                        F            C
And I knew in my heart that my old life was gone

                Am       C          G
That in walking away, my name was undone

G
So I might as well run

C     G   Am    C   Am      G  Am  C   Am  Dm  G    Em   F    C
Parts and bones and strings of secrets cut the ties that bind me

C G     Am    C  Am  G  Am    C  Am Dm    G    Em  F C
I might dream myself as king, but I ain't made for ruling

                    Am G
Just live another day,
