Cardinals chords by The Wonder Years

Chords with lyrics

verse 1
G+G                         E minorEm
Cardinal crashed into my window, I think he might die
                       C majorC
I'll plan him a funeral, I'll read his last rites
                         D MajorD
'Cause I know what he saw in that reflection of light

On the glass was a better life

verse 2
G+G
Staring at a hole in your chest
              E minorEm
That's been dug there for decades

American broken promises
C majorC
Caught between the lies you've been fed
           D MajorD
And a war with your bloodstream
                      G+G  E minorEm  C majorC
I should have been there when you needed a friend
   D MajorD     G+G E minorEm C majorC  D MajorD    G+G E minorEm C majorC
I was off on my own a---gai-n
D MajorD          G+G E minorEm C majorC
Selfish and stupid

      G+G
So if you call me back or let me in
       E minorEm
I swear I'll never let you down again
      G+G
I know the devil you've been fighting with
       E minorEm
I swear I'll never let you down again

verse 3
G+G
I had that nightmare again
         E minorEm
You're seven and helpless, angry as hell
            C majorC
And you balled up your fists but I laughed at your swings
          D MajorD
And I beat you half-conscious
                    G+G  E minorEm C majorC
I know that I failed you, woke up in a sweat
D MajorD       G+G   E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
I want those years back

      G+G
So if you call me back or let me in
       E minorEm
I swear I'll never let you down again
      G+G
I know the devil you've been fighting with
       E minorEm
I swear I'll never let you down again

Bridge
G+G        E minorEm
We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers
G+G        E minorEm
We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers

      G+G
So if you call me back or let me in
       E minorEm
I swear I'll never let you down again
      G+G
I know the devil you've been fighting with
       E minorEm
I swear I'll never let you down again

      G+G
So if you call me back or let me in
       E minorEm
I swear I'll never let you down again
      G+G
I know the devil you've been fighting with
       E minorEm
I swear I'll never let you down again
   C majorC       D MajorD   G+G
I'll never let you down again
