Goodbye to a good friend
E C
You can’t see the gun to my head

You can’t see lies bleeding through my words

You step away like I’m a copperhead

You step away like I’m a copperhead

With words not mine, I strike the vein

Left to no win choices to silence sacred voices

Making me feel maybe I am the copperhead
Am Em
Making me feel maybe I am the copperhead
[Chorus]
Am Dm
A snake in the grass hides for a reason
Am Em Am
What a blessing it is to hibernate for a season
Am Dm
Simply useless puppets, given words to say
Am Em Am
And I wish I were the snake, if but to crawl away

So goodbye to my good friend
E C
Will we meet again after what I have said?

And if we do, will you accept my words

As more than the hiss of a copperhead?
Am Em
As more than the bite* of a copperhead?
[Chorus]
Am Dm
A snake in the grass hides for a reason

What a blessing it is to hibernate for a season

Simply useless puppets, given words to say
