Verse 1:
     A minorAm    G+G    FF
Sweat and blood and ink I've spent

But I've saved my tears
    A minorAm    G+G    C majorC  F* C majorC   FF
I won't spring a leak for them
    A minorAm     G+G   FF
Sharply dressed and ill at ease
    A minorAm   G+G    FF
Like a sucker keen to please
       A minorAm    G+G   C majorC F* C majorC G+G
The man, the boss, the teacher


Pre-Chorus 1:
            C majorC  F* C majorC
I have tried to fall in love
    G+G
It did nothing more then leave me messed up
   A minorAm  G+G   FF
Some wild, bitter baby
    G+G
Now I'm crying for whoever

All the things you would have seen

Oh the man you could've been
    A minorAm  G+G     C majorC F* C majorC  FF
I would stand beside you
    A minorAm    G+G    FF
Now the hours and seconds crawl
    A minorAm    G+G   FF
Made me question it all again
    A minorAm   G+G    C majorC   F* C majorC  G+G
Why my son, my boy, my light?


Pre-Chorus 2:

She'd be your everything

And it could have saved you
