Basias' acoustic version of this song.
F#m
Call this on my awful luck
Bm
Skies they opened wide for us
A E D A E
Oh, what a heavy rain it was that covered all of you
F#m
The wind has changed, my boy
Bm
I never knew a voice like yours
A E D A E
But I know just what good it was, that lie you hold on to.
D A Bm
But to call those shadows coming after you
F#m
Go on, go on
Bm
I couldn't bear to lose
A
Go on, go on
F#m E
I couldn't stand to
Bm
They begged you for your awful words
F#m
So let them know the burden of your blues.
F#m
It could've been the one you loved
Bm
The visions of the things I'd done
A E D A E
Well, I wouldn't be the only one if you'd only told the truth.
F#m
While they chased you down that night
Bm
I was pulling feathers from your lies
A E D A E
Oh I swear I saw it in your eyes, you never told it true.
D A Bm
But to call those shadows coming after you
F#
Go on, go on
Bm
I couldn't beg you to
A
Go on, go on
F#m E
I couldn't stand to lose
Bm
They begged you for your awful words
F#m Bm A E D A E
So let them know the burden of your blues
D A Bm
Oh to call those shadows coming after you
F#m
Go on, go on
Bm
I couldn't beg you to
A
Go on, go on
F#m E
I couldn't stand to lose
Bm
They begged you for your awful words
F#m
So let them know the burden of your blues.
