Thirteen – Cam Penner
From the Album “Trouble and Mercy” 2009
Capo 5
[Verse 1]
Em G A G
Thirteen my lucky number
Em G A G
Thirteen miles thirteen seconds to the thunder
Em G A G
Fourteen floors is really thirteen under cover
Em G A G
It's a strange thing
Em G A G
For some it's frightening
Em G A G x2
[Verse 2]
Em G A G
Thirteen letters in your name
Em G A G
If you include the middle initial, wrote it down the other day
Em G A G
I'm saying 13 years and I'll never be the same
Em G A G
And that's a good thing
Em G A G
It's the awakening
[Bridge]
Em G
Its the name, I'm laying in bed
Em G
Must've been the wine, must’ve gone to my head
A
And got to thinkin bout life
G D
And how it's slipping away Time is slipping away
Em G A G
So rejoice
Em G A G
Rejoice
[Verse 3]
Em G A G
Thirteen my lucky number
Em G A G
The one I keep tucked up under
Em G A G
In desperate times in stormy weather
Em G A G
When I'm feeling blue
Em G A G
When I'm needing you
[Verse 4]
Em G A G
Thirteen to set me loose
Em G A G
Thirteen knots in a hang man’s noose
Em G A G
I'll take the stand and I'll speak the truth
Em G A G
It's all I know to do
Em G A G
It's all I know to do
[Outro]
A
Thirteen steps to the gallows
Em G Em G
One to lead twelve to follow
A Em
Thirteen summers thirteen springs
D A
Thirteen years and I'll never be the same
Em G A G
Thirteen
Em G A G
Thirteen
Em G A G
