Verse 1:
Am E
You left me alone, you left me for dead
Am E
Ripped out my heart and smiled as I slowly bled
Am E
And I’m crippled, and I’m sprawled out on the track
Am E
And you walk away without even looking back
Am G
I struggle each and every day
C Bb
Search through my pain for the words to say
Am G
I don’t want to live in this hell, but I must
C Bb F
‘Cause you left me, and I’m old, wounded and dangerous
Verse 2:
Am E
Your ghost chases me through whiskey soaked dreams
Am E
I guess our past is not what it seemed to me
Am E
And my future is black as night, a pointless charade
Am E
Growing darker still as your memory fades
Am G
God I don’t know why I even try
C Bb
I should just walk off the bridge and float out with the tide
Am G
Left my soul slowly turn to rust
C Bb F
‘Cause you left me old, wounded and dangerous
Verse 3:
Am E
But somehow, somehow I know I will survive
Am E
Even though my hope is near death, it still alive
Am E
But no matter where I go in the world, no matter how far
Am E
My heart will lay in tatters, and I’ll wear your scars
Am G
Living well ain’t no God damned revenge
C Bb
And pain isn’t cured with a Wild Turkey binge
Am G
For me it was love and perfect trust
C Bb F
Now you left me, and I’m old, wounded and dangerous
