♫ Verse 1:
Am G
I don't know what I was thinking
C Dm
Leaving my child behind
F E7 Am (G)
Now
I suffer the curse and now
I am blind
Am G
With all this anger, guilt and sadness
Am Dm
Coming to haunt me forever
F E7 Am (G)
I can't wait for the cliff at the end of the river
Am G
Is this revenge I am seeking
C Dm
Or seeking someone to avenge me?
F E7 Am (G)
Stuck in my own paradox
I wanna set myself free
Am G
Maybe
I should chase and find
A7 Dm
Before they'll try to stop it
F E7 Am (G)
It won't be long before I'll become a puppet
♫ Chorus:
Am G
It's been so long
C A7
Since I seen my son
Dm
Lost to this monster
E7 Am (G)
To the man behind the slaughter
Am G
Since you've been gone
C A7
I've been singing this stupid song
Dm
So
I could ponder
E7 Am
The sanity of your mother

♫ Verse 2:
Am G
I wish I lived in the present
C Dm
With the gift of my past mistakes
F E7 Am (G)
But the future keeps luring in like a pack of snakes
Am G A7 A Dm
Your sweet little eyes, your little smile is all I remember
F E7 Am (G)
Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper
Am G C Dm
Justification is killing me but killing isn't justified
F E7 Am (G)
What happened to my son? I'm terrified
Am G A7 A Dm
It lingers in my mind and the thought keeps on getting on bigger
F E7 Am (G)
I'm sorry, my sweet baby
I wish I'd been there
♫ Chorus:
Am G
It's been so long
C A7
Since I seen my son
Dm
Lost to this monster
E7 Am
To the man behind the slaughter
Am G
Since you've been gone
C A7
I've been singing this stupid song
Dm
So
I could ponder
E7 Am (G)
The sanity of your mother
