Intro:
	F# Ab Bb B
	A Abmin A

Verse:
  	B            A
	To lessen my troubles
				   Abmin
        I stopped hanging out with vultures
 		 	    A			
        And empty saviours like you
	B              A		Abmin
        I wish I had a nickel for every miracle
				F#
	That you easily tricked me into

Chorus:
	E       Eb C# B   
	You can lead a horse to water
	Abmin       E             E Eb C# B
        But fate is another matter
	B		Abmin
	So don't you surrender
	      E
	Cause sometimes salvation
		F#     E Eb C# 
	In the eye of the storm
	F#		      E     Eb  C#   B	
	Sister do you want to try and find me 


I've no time for accusations
Or conversations
On all the bad, bad things that you do
Just a note from the jailer
Drugs and the relation
To all the people around you

Chorus
Solo
        B                            A
	I've kept secret your superstitions
		     Abmin	
	And all its twisted wisdom
		F#
	That I fell into

Chorus

Sister do you even want to try and find me?
