Chords with lyrics

🎸 Intro:

F# minorF#m   G+G  B minorBm   A augmentedA (x2)


🎸 Verse 1:
     D MajorD
It was a can of paint
    B minorBm
With an ironic name
    G+G
Black Magic shade
     A augmentedA
Over the fireplace
     D MajorD
And you turned away
 B minorBm
As Sufjan sang
     G+G
Is there dignity in death
     A augmentedA
If there isn't any hope left?
        B minorBm
But I know I tried to be
          F# minorF#m
What I thought you needed me to be
  G+G                   D MajorD     A augmentedA
But I was becomin' somethin' that would never be me
       G+G
I heard the mating call
           B minorBm
For everything that made us fall
       A augmentedA
Out of the promised land
       D MajorD     E minorEm   F# minorF#m
With bags of contraband




🎸 Chorus:
    G+G              B minorBm         A augmentedA
I'm stranded in the desert with my empty and wicked hands
    G+G                B minorBm   A augmentedA
Just tryin' to find my way before I'm lost
    E minorEm      F# minorF#m        G+G
But I cannot keep livin' with the memory
      B minorBm       A augmentedA
Of all the heartbreak I swore that I forgot

🎸 Interlude:
F# minorF#m   G+G  B minorBm   A augmentedA

F# minorF#m   G+G  B minorBm   A augmentedA

🎸 Verse 2:
      D MajorD
And in the early light
     B minorBm
I find my enemy lines
    G+G
And I bend into the dream
    A augmentedA
That today I will make peace
      D MajorD
With that box of things
      B minorBm
That's still haunting me
   G+G
So I take it to the trash
     A augmentedA
Throw it in and I don't look back
            B minorBm
'Cause I know there's more to me
     F# minorF#m
Than even I have seen
  G+G                D MajorD      A augmentedA
So I get up and keep on fightin' in spite of me
      G+G
I hear the siren call
           B minorBm
For everything that makes me fall
        A augmentedA
Far from the promised land
       D MajorD   E minorEm   F# minorF#m
Lookin' for heroin

🎸 Chorus:
    G+G               B minorBm         A augmentedA
And I wake up in the mornin' with my ugly and wicked hands
    G+G                  B minorBm   A augmentedA
I just cannot bear the weight of all I've lost
     E minorEm      F# minorF#m        G+G
'Cause I cannot keep doin' all the same things
    B minorBm        A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
And pretend like there will not be a cost

🎸 Interlude:
G+G  B minorBm   A augmentedA

F# minorF#m   G+G  B minorBm   A augmentedA


🎸 Bridge:
  F# minorF#m          G+G        A augmentedA
But all this time
I thought it was a lost fight
  F# minorF#m        G+G        A augmentedA
To get back everything
I left behind my
     B minorBm     G+G
Days of rage and shame
  D MajorD         A augmentedA
I still don't understand

🎸 Outro:
F# minorF#m       G+G  B minorBm      A augmentedA
God, help me hide my wicked hands
F# minorF#m       G+G  B minorBm      A augmentedA
God, help me hide my wicked hands
F# minorF#m       G+G  B minorBm      A augmentedA
God, help me hide my wicked hands
F# minorF#m       G+G  B minorBm      A augmentedA
God, help me hide my wicked hands
