Cry For Judas Chords

   
[A] [Asus2] x3

[A]                            [Bm]
 Some things you do just to see
    [D]                        [A] [Asus2]
how bad they'll make you feel.
[A]                          [Bm]
 Sometimes you try to freeze time
                         [D]              [A]          [Asus2]
til those thoughts are a blur of spinning wheels.
    [A]         [Bm]
But I am just a broken machine,
      [F#m]            [D]               [E]
and I do things that I don't really mean.

           [A]
Long black night,
        [C#m]
Morning frost.
          [F#m]
I'm still here,
           [D]  
But all is lost.

[A]                        [Bm]
 Speed up to the precipice,
    [D]                     [A] [Asus2]
And then slam on the brakes.
[A]                             [Bm]
 Some people crash two or three times,
         [D]                       [A] [Asus2]
And then learn from their mistakes.
[A]                      [Bm]
 But we are the ones who don't slow down at all,
           [F#m]            [D]              [E]
And there's nobody there to catch us when we fall.

           [A]
Long black night,
        [C#m]
Morning frost.
          [F#m]
I'm still here,
           [D]  [E]  
But all is lost.

         [F#m]            [D]                 [A]
Feel the storm every night, hope it passes by.
[E]                     [F#m]       [D]               [A] [Asus2]
  Hallucinate the shady grove where Judas went to die.

[A]                      [Bm]
 Unfurl the black velvet alter cloth,
       [D]                  [A] [Asus2]
Draw a white chalk Baphomet.
[A]                       [Bm]
 Mistreat your alter boys long enough,
    [D]                  [A] [Asus2]
And this is what you get. 
[A]                   [Bm]
 Sad and angry, can't learn how to behave.
[F#m]                        [D]             [E]
 Still won't know how in the darkness of the grave.

           [A]
Long black night,
        [C#m]
Morning frost.
          [F#m]
I'm still here,
           [D]  
But all is lost.
