OLD WOUNDS - John Moreland


Verse:
D                        G
 I wanna fall asleep forever
G                     D
 I wanna learn to disappear
                                        G             G/D
Can you take away the mess, that’s been building in my chest
A                                 G
  Drowning out the song I used to hear
D                                  G
  Love’s a violent word, don’t you forget it
                             D
 I ain’t saying that you ever could
D

I’ve seen my seasons change
     G               G/D
I was crying out your name
A                 D              G
Remember when we used to feel so good

Chorus:
    G                           D G D
So don’t forget to love me in damnation
        G                D               Em
For the living I have earned on love gone wrong
           G                    D   G   D
And we’ll open up old wounds in celebration
          G          D                  G
If we don’t bleed, it don’t feel like a song


D                       G
You got your honest intuition
G                     D
You got your cigarette smoke
                                     G             G/D
And I’m all your oldest fears, the black mark on last year
A            D               G
But I got the hope you let me hold
D                              G
So let them judge and shove us under
                    D
And let them do the devil’s work
D
Let them calculate the crimes
G                 G/D
in all our broken rhymes
A                    D                 G
But let us find the heaven following the hurt


Chorus:
G                                 D G D
So don’t forget to love me in damnation
        G              D                 Em
For the living I have earned on love gone wrong
          G                      D  G D
And we’ll open up old wounds in celebration
           G           D                G
