The Weakerthans – History To The Defeated (Ukulele)

        Am           F
There's blood in the sink,

         C            F
and he's plunging his wrists in.

  Am       F 
A hangover halo is 

F        C
washing away. 

  Am            F
Mechanic-school dropout 

       C        F
stares into the mirror, 

       Am        F
stands up in his derelict 

F           C
daydreams. 

Am         F
Always too tall,

       C             F 
always walked around wearing a 

Am             F
smile that was never quite 

F         C
sure of itself. 

Am         F
Planning a future 

   C          F
of failures inflicted 

   Am               F
in phone calls from strip clubs

    F            C

There's a light left on. 

          Am      F     F         C

There's a movie-still 

     Am        F       F         C
of a heart I'd like to mention. 

      Am           F
Don't give me that look, 

         C           F
I looked harder than most did, 

    Am           F
let details like sharp nails 

      F           C
punch holes in my shoes. 

Am             F
Soft-traced to frown 

     C         F
as I put the receiver down. 

Am         F
Where do I go 

      F        C
for a pardon? 

          Am         F    C   F
There's a light left on.

of a heart I'd like to mention. 

      Am             F
We're listing what's left:

mother's back yard.
