Verse1:
(Same pattern as the intro but the slower part at the start is picked at the same speed
as the rest)
Intro pattern x2
All of a sudden, I am lost without a care, for books I’ve read, for hanging heads, for
hearts and mouths and a sense of dread.
You might think its gritty girl but it does not compare, to all i know, the open road,
the sights and sounds when I’m far from home

(Listen to the song timing here)
If you really want me to be strong, again
Won’t you call back the army who turned, and fled.
Do you really think I would trust this.
With the fickle hand of justice at my throat
And now all I need is a hand to hold on to
(intro again)
Verse2: (same)
A lie, a look, a chance you took, right before my eyes
And now it’s crystal clear, after all these years
That it’s me that you love, yeah but it’s me that you fear
Verse3: (same)
Sitting, simmering, all this time
Now in this make shift noose, I will make my truce
And you’ll never know why, and that’s what’ll kill you
