A Pound Of Flesh Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

C Am

Cmy feet plow on from light to dawn

my empty belly Amand my body aches ain't hard to take

next to the Gweight I Ccarry in my chest

a pound of flesh could never tip the Amscale that I've made

I should have stayed, but I was Gnever wiseF

I hear your voices Gin the wind that cuts the Amnight

and I Fpray to whatever is Glistening things will be alrightC

oh, my boy, you're Amalive

your heart's still Gbeating

so Cdon't you mind, don't you Ammind

we all drift Gsometimes

FI can still hear your Gfeet as you ran from the Amhouse

but knowing Fyou won't be Gback,

doesn't Ammean that I will stop Emwaiting

Fyou told me then: Hold me Gdown or hold me up to the Amfire,

but don't you Fdare hold me Gback.

Interlude

C Am [quick G] (x2)

FI see your faces Gin the clouds that scar the Amnight

and I Fpray to whoever is Glistening things will be alrightC

then Amtoday I wake up feeling Geasy,

and find CI'm on the more familiar Froads

I got a Amdarkness wrapped Ginside me,

but now it Cain't so hard to let it Fgo

so Amkeep a candle burning in the Gwindow,

I'm almost Chome
