Am Em I dunno what I was thinking C D Leaving my child behind Dm E7 Am Now I suffer the curse and now I am blind Am E7 With all this anger, guilt and sadness Dm Am Coming to haunt me forever Dm E7 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 E7 Stuck in my own paradox I wanna set Am myself free Am E7 Maybe I should chase and find F Am Before theyʼll try to stop it Dm E7 Am It wonʼt be long before Iʼll become a puppet Am E7 Itʼs been so long F A Since I last have seen my son Dm Lost to this monster E7 Am To the man behind the slaughter Am E7 Since youʼve been gone F A Iʼve been singing this stupid song Dm So I could ponder E7 Am The sanity of your mother Am G C E7 x2 Am Em I wish I lived in the present C D With the gift of my past mistakes Dm E7 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 E7 Those fuzzy memories mess with my Am temper Am Em Justification is killing me C D But killing isnʼt justified Dm E7 Am What happened to my son, Iʼm terrified Am E7 Dm It lingers in my mind and the thought keeps Am getting bigger Dm E7 Iʼm sorry my sweet baby, I wish Iʼd been Am there Am E7 Itʼs been so long F A Since I last have seen my son Dm Lost to this monster E7 Am To the man behind the slaughter Am E7 Since youʼve been gone F A Iʼve been singing this stupid song Dm So I could ponder E7 Am The sanity of your mother Am G C E7 x4
