And filled with pain
F#m
I swore I'd never
A
Sin again
C#m E
I swore that I'd never kill again
F#m A
But I broke my vow again and again

I search all night
E
I drive all day
F#m A
I search for the ones who've been led astray
C#m E
But some men they just never found their way

I swore I'd never kill

Again

C#m
The nights are long
E
Longer than days
F#m
But I never rest
A
My eyes never stray
C#m
For ones who chose
E
To come my way
F#m
Please pray for them
A
Cause I don't pray
C#m
And tell them to run
E
Run far away
F#m
Cause I'll never stop
A
Till they lie in their graves
C#m
In every town
E
It ends this way
F#m A
But I swore that I'd never kill

I swore that I'd never kill

It goes for days
F#m
But I never bend

A man who is bound to kill
C#m E
So I raise a glass to dull the pain
F#m A
And swear that I'll never sin again
C#m E
I'll raise my glass again and again
F#m A
And swear that I'll never kill
F#m A
I swore I'd never kill
F#m A
I swore that I'd never kill
C#m
Again
