The Weakerthans – History To The Defeated (Guitar)

        Bm           A
There's blood in the sink,

         D            G
and he's plunging his wrists in.

  Bm       A 
A hangover halo is 

G        D
washing away. 

  Bm            A
Mechanic-school dropout 

       D        G
stares into the mirror, 

       Bm        A
stands up in his derelict 

G           D
daydreams. 

Bm         A
Always too tall,

       D             G 
always walked around wearing a 

Bm             A
smile that was never quite 

G         D
sure of itself. 

Bm         A
Planning a future 

   D          G
of failures inflicted 

   Bm               A
in phone calls from strip clubs

    G            D 
and bail bonds. 

          G         D    Bm   A
There's a light left on. 

          G      D     Bm         A       
There's a pace to our direction. 

          G    D      Bm   A
There's a movie-still 

     G        D       Bm         A
of a heart I'd like to mention. 

      Bm           A
Don't give me that look, 

         D           G
I looked harder than most did, 

    Bm           A
let details like sharp nails 

      G           D
punch holes in my shoes. 

Bm             A
Soft-traced to frown 

     D         G
as I put the receiver down. 

Bm         A
Where do I go 

      G        D
for a pardon? 

          G         D    Bm   A
There's a light left on. 

          G      D     Bm         A       
There's a pace to our direction. 

          G    D      Bm   A
There's a movie-still 

     G        D       Bm         A
of a heart I'd like to mention. 

      Bm             A
We're listing what's left: 

  D             G
a signed Slayer t-shirt, 

  Bm        A
a car up on blocks in his 

G             D
mother's back yard.
