Intro: Bm F Bm F Bm F Bm F Bm
verse 1:
C# G#
I dunno what I was thinking,
Bbm G#
Leaving my child behind,
Bbm G# Bbm
Now I suffer the curse and now I am blind
G# Bbm
With all this anger, guilt and sadness,
D#m F#
Coming to haunt me forever,
F Bbm
I can't wait for the cliff at the end of the river,
Bbm G#
Is this revenge I am seeking,
Bbm F
Or seeking someone to avange me
Bbm G# C#
Stuck in my own paradox I wanna set myself free
G# Bbm
Maybe I should chase and find
F F#
before they'll try to stop it
Bbm G# Bbm
It won't be long before I'll become a puppet
[Refrão]
Bbm G#
It's been so long,
Bbm
Since I last have seen my son
F#
lost to this monster
F Bbm
to the man behind the slaughter
Bbm G#
Since you've been gone
Bbm
I've been singing this stupid song
F#
So I could ponder
F Bbm
The sanity of your mother
verse 2:
C# G#
I wish I lived in the present
Bbm G#
With the gift of my past mistakes
Bbm G# Bbm
But the future keeps luring in like a pack of snakes
G# Bbm
Your sweet little eyes, your little smile,
D#m F#
is all I remember
F Bbm
Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper
Bbm G#
Justification is killing me
Bbm F
But killing isn't justified
Bbm G# C#
What happened to my son, I'm terrified
G# Bbm F F#
It lingers in my mind and the thought keeps on getting bigger,
Bbm G# Bbm
I'm sorry my sweet baby, I wish I've been there.
[Refrão]
