Am Em I dunno what I was thinking C D Leaving my child behind Dm E Am Now I suffer the curse and now I am blind Am E With all this anger, guilt and sadness Dm Am Coming to haunt me forever Dm E I canʼt wait for the cliff at the end of the Am river Am Em Is this revenge I am seeking? C D Or seeking someone to avenge me? Dm E Stuck in my own paradox I wanna set Am myself free Am E Maybe I should chase and find F Am Before theyʼll try to stop it Dm E Am It wonʼt be long before Iʼll become a puppet Am E Itʼs been so long F A Since I last have seen my son Dm Lost to this monster E Am To the man behind the slaughter Am E Since youʼve been gone F A Iʼve been singing this stupid song Dm So I could ponder E Am The sanity of your mother Am G C E x2 Am Em I wish I lived in the present C D With the gift of my past mistakes Dm E But the future keeps luring in like a pack of Am snakes Am G Dm Your sweet little eyes, your little smile Am Is all I remember Dm E Those fuzzy memories mess with my Am temper Am Em Justification is killing me C D But killing isnʼt justified Dm E Am What happened to my son, Iʼm terrified Am E Dm It lingers in my mind and the thought keeps Am getting bigger Dm E Iʼm sorry my sweet baby, I wish Iʼd been Am there Am E Itʼs been so long F A Since I last have seen my son Dm Lost to this monster E Am To the man behind the slaughter Am E Since youʼve been gone F A Iʼve been singing this stupid song Dm So I could ponder E Am The sanity of your mother Am G C E x4
