Basias' acoustic version of this song. 

F#m                
Call this on my awful luck

                  Bm 
Skies they opened wide for us

A                E                D       A      E 
Oh, what a heavy rain it was that covered all of you

F#m
The wind has changed, my boy

               Bm  
I never knew a voice like yours

      A              E                  D       A       E   
But I know just what good it was, that lie you hold on to.

D                                A     Bm 
But to call those shadows coming after you 

F#m
Go on, go on

                   Bm 
I couldn't bear to lose 

A
Go on, go on

           F#m   E
I couldn't stand to

Bm
They begged you for your awful words 

                                    F#m
So let them know the burden of your blues.

F#m
It could've been the one you loved

                   Bm 
The visions of the things I'd done

        A               E                 D    A        E     
Well, I wouldn't be the only one if you'd only told the truth.

F#m
While they chased you down that night

                       Bm  
I was pulling feathers from your lies

     A              E             D         A       E 
Oh I swear I saw it in your eyes, you never told it true.

D                                A     Bm
But to call those shadows coming after you
 
F#
Go on, go on
                   Bm 
I couldn't beg you to 

A
Go on, go on

           F#m      E 
I couldn't stand to lose 

Bm
They begged you for your awful words

                                    F#m    Bm  A  E  D A E 
So let them know the burden of your blues   

D                               A     Bm 
Oh to call those shadows coming after you 

F#m
Go on, go on 

                   Bm
I couldn't beg you to 

A 
Go on, go on

           F#m      E 
I couldn't stand to lose 

Bm
They begged you for your awful words

                                    F#m
So let them know the burden of your blues.
