Tuned down a half step
Intro:
C Am (x2)
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
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/radical_face/a_pound_of_flesh_crd.html )
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 Em
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.
Interlude:
C Am (quick G) (x2)
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
