INTRO: G | G | Am - C | G | Am - C | G
V1:
G
Wasn't much of a union - denial and confusion
C G
If it meant so much to you, I bet ya woulda stayed Am
Stumbled on some good times - Turned 'em into landmines
Am C G
You know you can turn the other way
G
You say you been meanin' To sort through all your demons
G C
If there's some room, you gonna let me in
Am
You been hung right by your close friends
Am
Your inner child’s an orphan
Am C G
You're so far down you don't know where you've been
CHORUS I:
Am D
So many things you don't know
Am D
You want me to leave, just say so
G
It's the kind of thing I like
C D
Curse cast in the night (?)
Am D
So ill fated
G
So ill fated
[ Am - C | G | Am - C | G ]
V2:
G
Get by with preservations - regrets and salutations
C G
There's somethin' in there, someone that I didn't slay
Am
It's you I think of only - whenever I get lonely
Am C G
We got more than years to keep away
G
I've been dyin' just to start livin'- I'm just livin' to be dyin'
G C
We can't seem to find no common ground
Am
You hate me when I'm lonely - I'm lonely when you hate me
Am C G
Mostly I'm just there to kick around
CHORUS II:
Am D
Soaring high and low
Am D
First to leave, last to know
G
It's the kind of thing I like
C D
Curse cast in the night
Am D
So ill fated
Am
So ill fated
G
It's the kind of thing I like
C D
Curse cast in the night
G
So ill fated
