CAPO - 6
G
So you think there’s no meaning
G C B
In anything that we do?
Am E
Maybe it's the silence
Am E
Maybe it's the war
F
Try to understand it
Am
Try your best to understand the world
F
You're bleeding down the highway
Am
You just want to listen to the roar
G
Well, you called him a liar
G C B
And you called him a piece of dirt
Am E
Never can you take it back and
Am E
Never can you make it right
F
In the final second
Am
I think he knew everything you are
F
A plague on the horizon
In the cold arena where you're...
Am C
Trapped
G F
In the moment you met
G Am C
In the lifetime I'm there
G F
But she still doesn't love you
E
But you didn't know why
Am C G F
You can take it from there
G Am C
There's a light in your eyes
G F
That's the thing you would always say
E
That it is no worse
Am E G A# x2
G
And they called you a witness
G C B
And they called you the next-of-kin
Am E
Maybe you don't hear their questions
Am E
Or you don't want to take it in
F
No one saw it coming
Am
Nobody could see the underside
F
He was straighter than an arrow
Am
Pointed at a target in his mind
G
And his bow was his anger
G C B
But his blade was this cursed time
Am E
He didn't want to be your prisoner
Am E
Anymore than you'd be mine
F
Try to know the difference
Am
Sleep until your feelings lift away
F
I'll be waiting for you
A reservoir between us, as you're...
Am C
Trapped
G F
In the moment you met
G Am C
In the lifetime I'm there
G F
But she still doesn't love you
E
But you didn't know why
Am C G F
You can take it from there
G Am C
There's a light in your eyes
G F
That's the thing you would always say
E
That it is no worse
Am C
Yes
G F
It's the back of your mind
G Am C
It's the heart of a gun
G F
It's the thought that you might have done it
E
But you can't know why
Am C G F
Don't you waste any love
G Am C
There's a truth in the blood
G F
There's a thing he was always saying
E
That it is no worse
(Yeah)
Am C G F G Am C G F E x2
