Awake In The Dirt Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

BmDad I knEmow

You can't Asee

My actions F♯as

A plea for Bmpeace

You can't get Empast

The rocks stained Ared

The nail bomb F♯blast

The doctor, Bmdead

Your prairie Emdream

Your liberal Aheart

Your patient F♯mind

Your father's Bmarms

They just won't Emdo

They just can't Afit

It's them, not F♯Marx

You can blame for Dthis

Alive in the A♯dirt A D

Alive in the Emdirt

I'm at F♯peace, sainted and Bmwaiting

For my Fperfect pain to speak through me again

Break

At one with the A♯dirt A D

At one with the Emdirt

I'm at F♯peace, sainted and Bmwaiting

For my Fperfect pain to cover me forBm good?
