The Wondersmith And His Sons chords by Astronautalis

Verse 1:

Bm
I am a soldier baby


Bm
Who works just like a slave


Bm
Sweating through the pain of digging his foxhole that he know is just a grave


Bm
You trust me don't you baby?

Bm
You'd hand your life to me


Bm
Let's walk along the wire and watch the muzzles flash like lightning



Em                                                             Bm
A smile safe-crackers understand, is rendering this steady hand obsolete


Em                                                           Bm
You thought you caught my slight of hand, but you could never understand


Bm
No not me



Verse 2:

Bm
Father was a charming man with much hidden up his sleeve


Bm
I wonder if this is what he planned when he taught his tricks to me


    Em
The youngest was a clever boy cracking calculus by three


    Bm
The eldest was a practical and obsessively clean


Bm
Then there was me:



Bm
I was born a charming man with silver tongue, pearl teeth


Bm
This's never how it's 'sposed to end, we're promised all we dreamed


Em
The envy of the Everyman our family seemed complete


Em
Our father was a charming man, our mother a serene



Bm
But now I'm on the run again - this hotel's home to me


Bm
They found the other skeleton face down in the stream


    Em
The youngest was still tucked in bed


Em
That way they thought he was asleep


Em
They moved the mirror from his mouth


                               Bm
The fog that should remain was not to be seen


Bm
Not to be seen


Verse 3:


Bm
I am the doctor darling


Bm
Who used to operate


Bm
But I couldn't stand the pain of healing


Bm
Only t'watch another woman waste away


Em
You trust me don't you baby?


Em
Yeah you'd hand your life to me


Bm
Let's set this barn on fire


Bm
And watch the flames eat up the roof beams



Bm
A smile safe-crackers understand


Bm
Is rendering this steady hand


Bm
Obsolete


Em
You thought I must have broken in


Em
But there's no crime in coming in


Bm
They hand me the key


Verse 4:

Bm
Floating on the wind again


Bm
On the tail of my quarry


     Em
On a woman weak for charming men


Em
Who's holding what I need


       Bm
She'll leave her window cracked for me


Bm
And I'll draft in like the breeze


Bm
My father was a charming man and I learned it all from he



    Em
The brother's born a wondersmith


Em
We started as a team


     Bm
Like complimenting cogs and gears we built a head of steam


    Em
The tragic flaw of charming men


Em
Is exactly as it seems


Bm
Too much grease


Bm
Can break down a machine


Verse 5:

Bm
Pour another round on me


Em
Pour another round on me


Bm
You know I'm good for it


Bm
You know me


Em
You know I'm good for it


Em
You know my family


Verse 6:


Bm
I am a lover lady


Bm
Who sees just what you dream


Bm
I know you're going crazy living with him an' without me


Em
You trust me don't you baby?


Em
Yeah you'd hand your life to me


Bm
Let's leave this life tonight


Bm
And race the sunrise down the highway



Bm
A smile safe-crackers understand


Bm
Is rendering this steady hand


Em
Obsolete


Bm
The charm and confidence of men


Bm
Can jam the bullets in your gun


Bm
And stop heartbeats
