The Rope Chords

Key: Am Verse 1: Am G Em F I was talking to Johnny Am G Em F 'Bout the shape I'm in Am G Em F With the pinhole eyes Am G Em F And the darkness within Am G Em F But the kid don't lie Am G Em F He says, "We know what we know" Am G Em F Oh, I'm sick of kicking out my life Am G Em F Yeah, in the glare of the world, I just don't wanna know Chorus: Am G Em F Don't let go Am G Em F Don't let go Am G Em F Don't let go Am Don't let go of the rope, no

Am G Em F Verse 2: Am G Em F Yeah, but the kid don't lie Am G Em F Never says a word Am G Em F But he looked me in the eye Am G Em F And I stared right down that barrel into the bottom of the world Chorus: Am G Em F Don't let go Am G Em F Don't let go Am G Em F Don't let go Am Don't let go of the rope, no Post-Chorus: Am G Em F And, if you're rollin' easy, go steady Am G Em F You gotta do what you do to get along Am G Em F Did they leave you screaming in the rain? Am G Em F Yeah, no one told you that they loved you Am G Em F Were you cheated? Were you robbed? Chorus: Am G Em F Just hold on Am G Em F And don't let go Am G Em F Don't let go Am Don't let go of the rope Post-Chorus: Am G Em F And, if you're rollin' easy, go steady Am G Em F You gotta do what you do to get along Am G Em F They left us screaming in the rain? Am G Em F And they tossed us in the garbage Am G Em F Into the justice of the dark, oh no
