Verse:
      G        C               D
Desperation, I know you oh too well,

A sister to my saddened heart,
    C               D
The bride of my own hell.

Chorus:
      G                 C                  D
But ambition, you're my best friend and my worst,
           G               C
'Cause you lead me to that fallowed field,
     D             G
That cut me like a curse.

Verse:
    G             C              D
Intuition, are my senses growin' dim,
G                 Em
Backed up in this corner now,
C              D
With no way to win.

Chorus:
      G                 C                  D
But ambition, you're my best friend and my worst,
           G               C

     D             G
That cut me like a curse.

Bridge:
  D                C              G
Seclusion, I spend too much time alone,
           C            G
And as the water to the fisherman,
    G             D
The hammer to the stone.

Chorus:
  G                 C                  D
Ambition, you're my best friend and my worst,
           G               C
'Cause you lead me to that fallowed field,
     D             G
That cut me like a curse.

G Em C D x2

Verse:
     G           C             D
Inspiration, you used to come around,
    G            Em
And I was always waitin' there,
C                 D
When the sun went down.

Verse:
  G                C                  D
Religion, don't forget your blue eyed boy,
    G                 C
Who wrestles with the angels,
    D                  G
Who claim the blood is yours.

Bridge:
    D         C                   G
Invitation, I have had them all before,
         C                    G
From the smilin' man with the greasy hand,
       G             D
To the empty hearted whore.

Chorus:
      G                 C                  D
But ambition, you're my best friend and my worst,
           G               C
'Cause you lead me to that fallowed field,
     D             G
That cut me like a curse.
