Verse:
D MajorD         A augmentedA    G+G D MajorD
The old man's been stealing
D MajorD         A augmentedA        G+G      D MajorD
She's holding her grievance for a hundred-odd years
D MajorD      A augmentedA    G+G D MajorD
We all keep believing
D MajorD       A augmentedA       G+G     D MajorD
That history repeats itself year after year

Pre-Chorus:
G+G   A augmentedA        B minorBm     D MajorD
All I fear's that the future is worse
G+G      A augmentedA      B minorBm      D MajorD
We have to give in to the hundred-year curse
G+G      A augmentedA       B minorBm     D MajorD
Sweat in the sun like we're diggin' a grave
G+G       A augmentedA     B minorBm      D MajorD
Dig deep enough and our fortune we'll save

Chorus:
G+G     D MajorD     A augmentedA       D MajorD
"If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs,
G+G        D MajorD      A augmentedA      D MajorD
"The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies,"
G+G        D MajorD    A augmentedA     D MajorD
As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely
G+G       G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
He cries to the mo-oo-n, "If only, if only."

Verse:
D MajorD     A augmentedA     G+G      D MajorD
Chasin' the skirt of a beautiful wife
D MajorD    A augmentedA        G+G       D MajorD
You make mistakes and it's my back that breaks
D MajorD     A augmentedA     G+G    D MajorD
And forever my past steals my life
D MajorD      A augmentedA           G+G         D MajorD
To submission I'm beat but there's hope beneath these feet

Pre-Chorus:
G+G      A augmentedA       B minorBm       D MajorD
Blisters and blood and the sun makes you blind
G+G        A augmentedA        B minorBm      D MajorD
You don't let it eat 'til it can't help but be kind
G+G           A augmentedA         B minorBm      G+G
'Cause you know what's important with your back to the wall
G+G       A augmentedA           B minorBm           B minorBm
You can break metal chains when your friends don't let you fall

Chorus:
G+G     D MajorD     A augmentedA       D MajorD
"If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs,
G+G        D MajorD      A augmentedA      D MajorD
"The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies,"
G+G        D MajorD    A augmentedA     D MajorD
As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely
G+G       G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
He cries to the mo-oo-n, "If only, if only."

N.C.
I'm a sword but I find myself blunt
And that is no use when I'm fighting my history, fighting my history
N.C.
I have no blade, I'm more like a feather
That is no use when I' m fighting my history, fighting my history
N.C.
I have no blade, I'm more like a feather
But I can't fly away when I'm fighting myself
