Intro: Em bar

E5 bar
Words cut like diamonds through this window pane,
B5
Voices crashing loudly, in what seems to drown the rain.
C5 
And I speak in tounges and clench my fist,
C5                                   E5
In hopes to shine some light on this mess.

E5 bar
You point your gun right in my face,
                               B5 
Lucky for me you've never been one to shoot it straight
     C5
So i dodge your bullets, cut and sway,
C5                              E5
Your words don't bother me so I say.

G5                                     D5
How much longer will i wait for these skies to turn from grey
E5                                     C5
And your lies will wind up only hurting you
           G5                   D5
But i will wait for the sun to go but return,
   E5                              C5
in light of all the pain you put me through,
E5 bar
i wish you only knew.

E5 bar
Now when poison is burning through my veins, 
         B5
Well I'm hoping that you are to blame
     C5 
This truth you find in me
    C5                              E5
I'm losing can't you see, and now I know
     E5 bar
When guns go and leave you lying in the sand,
       B5
Well I promise you I'll be the bigger man,
    C5                    C5                        E5
and bite my tongue, just know that son I'm here to stay

             G5                            D5
And how much longer will I wait for these skies to turn from grey 
         E5                             C5
And your lies will wind up only hurting you
           G5                   D5
But i will wait for the sun to go but return
   E5                               C5
In light of all the pain you put me through,
C5                         C5                     E5
The pain you put me through, the pain you put me through.

C5        C5          E5       C5            C5          E5
You know I will be a fool, to ever take my eyes off of you
C5        C5          E5       C5            C5          E5 (ring out)
You know I will be a fool, to ever take my eyes off of you
