Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
|| Bbm | Ab | Gb Bbm | Gb F ||


Verse 1:
Db         Ab
I dunno what I was thinking,
Bbm        Ab
Leaving my child behind,
  Bbm      Ab       Bbm
Now I suffer the curse and now I am blind

   Ab       Bbm
With all this anger, guilt and sadness,
Ebm         Gb
Coming to haunt me forever,
           F           Bbm
I can't wait for the cliff at the end of the river,

Bbm         Ab
Is this revenge I am seeking,
  Bbm         Ab
Or seeking someone to avange me
   Bbm      Ab        Db
Stuck in my own paradox I wanna set myself free

  Ab     Bbm
Maybe I should chase and find
 Ebm         Gb
before they'll try to stop it
  Bbm      Ab         Bbm
It won't be long before I'll become a puppet


Chorus:
   Bbm   Ab
It's been so long,
    Bbm        Bb
Since I last have seen my son
       Gb
lost to this monster
    F        Bbm
to the man behind the slaughter

   Bbm     Ab
Since you've been gone
   Bbm           Bb
I've been singing this stupid song
      Gb
So I could ponder
   F       Bbm
The sanity of your mother


Instrumental:
|| Bbm Ab | Db F || x4


Verse 2:
Db          Ab
I wish I lived in the present
     Bbm        Ab
With the gift of my past mistakes
    Bbm      Ab       Bbm
But the future keeps luring in like a pack of snakes

         Ab        Bbm
Your sweet little eyes, your little smile,
 Ebm   Gb
is all I remember
         F        Bbm
Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper

Bbm       Ab
 Justification is killing me
  Bbm         F
But killing isn't justified
   Bbm      Ab      Db
What happened to my son, I'm terrified

  Ab      Bbm          F         Gb
It lingers in my mind and the thought keeps on getting bigger,
  Bbm      Ab         Bbm
I'm sorry my sweet baby, I wish I've been there.


Chorus:
   Bbm   Ab
It's been so long,
    Bbm        Bb
Since I last have seen my son
       Gb
lost to this monster
    F        Bbm
to the man behind the slaughter

   Bbm     Ab
Since you've been gone
     Bbm         Bb
I've been singing this stupid song
      Gb
So I could ponder
   F       Bbm
The sanity of your mother.
