A Pound Of Flesh

Intro: C Am (2x) C my feet plow on from light to dawn Am my empty belly and my body aches ain't hard to take G C next to the weight I carry in my chest Am a pound of flesh could never tip the scale that I've made G F I should have stayed, but I was never wise G Am I hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night F G C and I pray to whatever is listening things will be alright Am oh, my boy, you're alive G your heart's still beating C Am so don't you mind, don't you mind G we all drift sometimes F G Am I can still hear your feet as you ran from the house F G but knowing you won't be back, Am Em doesn't mean that I will stop waiting F G Am you told me then: Hold me down or hold me up to the fire, F G but don't you dare hold me back. Interlude: C Am G (2x) F G Am I see your faces in the clouds that scar the night F G C and I pray to whoever is listening things will be alright Am G then today I wake up feeling easy, C F and find I'm on the more familiar roads Am G I got a darkness wrapped inside me, C F but now it ain't so hard to let it go Am G so keep a candle burning in the window, C I'm almost home
