The President

Intro: C Am G F C (2x) C I've run to ground Am G F C I've run from everyone that I have ever known C I'm aching cold Am G F C I'm aching from the bones the very blood of me Am G And it's broke before you know it, before you knew what it was for F C All you know is you can't fix it, and you wish you'd listened more Am G To your instincts, to your family, to the wisdom you'd ignored F C G Are you finally gonna ask us for help? C I've crashed to earth Am G F C But I'd fallen for so long that it was just relief C I saw your face Am G F C In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes Am G And it's broke before you know it, before you knew what it was for F C All you know is you can't fix it, and you wish you'd listened more Am G To your instincts, to your family, to the wisdom you'd ignored F C G When you finally gonna ask us for help? Am G I can see you at the front gate, as you wait on my return F C The years have blurred to eons, but the tears have never dried Am G But I'm not coming to you like this, so battered down and sad F C I will take the road forgotten again.
