Lyrics

[Intro]
| Bbm Cm | Bbm Cm | Bbm Cm | Bbm Cm |

[Verse 1]
Bbm                   Ab
   I dunno what I was thinking
    Db                 Ab
Leaving my child behind
      Db                Ab
Now, I  suffer the curse  and now,
    Bbm     Ab
I am   blind
        Bb                 Ab
With all  this anger, guilt  and sadness
   Bb     Bb7          Bmaj7
Coming to haunt me forever
       Gb                  F7                    Bbm
I can't  wait for the cliff  at the end of the river

[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm                         Ab
   Is this revenge I am seeking
       Db                   Ab
Or seeking someone to avenge  me?
        Db
Stuck in  my own paradox,
Ab                  Bbm    Ab
  I wanna set myself   free
      Bb              Ab
Maybe,  I should chase  and find
      Bb        Bb7        Bmaj7
Before  they'll try to stop     it
        Gb              F7                 Bbm
It won't  be long before  I'll become a puppet

[Chorus]
     Bbm         Cm
It's been so long
        Db                   Daug
Since I last have seen my son
                Ebm            Gb
Lost to this monster To the man
  F7             Bbm Cm F7
behind the slaughter
      Bbm             Cm
Since you've been gone
          Db                      Daug
I've been singing this stupid song
               Ebm       Gb
So, I could ponder The sa
     F7         Bbm
nity of your mother

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
Bbm                         Ab
   I wish I lived in the present
             Db                   Ab
With the gift  of my past mistakes
          Db                  Ab                     Bbm Ab
But the future keeps luring in  like a pack of snakes
          Bb
Your sweet  little eyes,
Ab                 Bb   Bb7        Bmaj7
  your little smile  is all I remember
         Gb         F7                Bbm
Those fuzzy memories  mess with my temper

[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm                    Ab             Db                  Ab
   Justification is killing me but killing isn't justified
        Db              Ab           Bbm Ab
What happened to my son?  I'm terrified
      Bb             Ab                     Bb   Bb7
It lingers in my mind  and the thought keeps  on getting
   Bmaj7
bigger
       Gb             F7
I'm sorry, my sweet baby,
               Bbm
I wish I'd been   there

[Chorus]
     Bbm         Cm
It's been so long
        Db                   Daug
Since I last have seen my son
                Ebm            Gb
Lost to this monster To the man
  F7             Bbm Cm F7
behind the slaughter
      Bbm             Cm
Since you've been gone
          Db                      Daug
I've been singing this stupid song
               Ebm       Gb
So, I could ponder The sa
