Chords with lyrics

Capo on 1st fret!

Intro: E minorEm

       G+G                E minorEm
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy.
     G+G          E minorEm
You sat alone under billowing sky
     D MajorD      E minorEm
If I feel God judging me,
           D MajorD         E minorEm
Well I fell into the water, and now I'm free.

  E minorEm
My friends they don't really get me,

think I'm the only one
    G+G        D MajorD        C majorC       E minorEm
Well i sold my soul to Jesus and since then ive had no fun
    E minorEm
Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace
    G+G       D MajorD           C majorC       E minorEm
Inside every man is a heart of sand you can see it in his face.

    E minorEm                 D MajorD
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
     E minorEm               D MajorD
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
    E minorEm                 D MajorD
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
     E minorEm              D MajorD
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

   E minorEm
The wind and I, we speak the same, but he don't hear so well.
    D MajorD
You're gonna have to curse him,
       E minorEm
Well you're gonna have to yell.
   E minorEm
The sky and I, we've had our fights and I'm coming round to rain,
    G+G          D MajorD
If the rain come round and don't go out,
     C majorC          E minorEm
and I'll never have to speak again,

    E minorEm                 D MajorD
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
     E minorEm               D MajorD
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
   E minorEm                 D MajorD
Can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
     E minorEm              D MajorD
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

   E minorEm
The captains got his boots on and he's heading out the door,
 D MajorD                E minorEm
Leaving his lady alone thinkin' "He don't love me no more."
   E minorEm
He's done with all this bullshit,

He's going back to war,
  G+G      D MajorD
If Heaven is as Heaven does,
   C majorC        E minorEm
then this is Hell for sure...

      E minorEm                 D MajorD
And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
     E minorEm               D MajorD
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
    E minorEm                 D MajorD
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
     E minorEm              D MajorD
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

       G+G                E minorEm
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy.
     G+G          E minorEm
You sat alone under billowing sky
     D MajorD      E minorEm
If I feel God judging me,
           D MajorD       E minorEm
Well I fell into the water, now I'm free.

THE END
