The Widow As Cities Burn


[Capo on 3rd fret]


Am
Dead man, were you ever alive?
F
Or was I just a seed buried deep inside

C
Some woman you wed
G Am
Right before you crawled out of her bed and crept down the hall?
F
Did you think of me?
C G
Did you even for a second hesitate in the doorway?
Am
It's just something that I'd like to know
F
Though I'd still love you if you told me
C
That you just walked away

C Em
My God, what a world you love
F
Where men bury their sons
Em
And without thought just walk away


Am Em F G [x2]


Am Em F G
And my mother's heart breaks X2
Am Em F G
Like the water inside of her

Am F
Dead man, is it being high that makes you alive?
C G
It makes you leave behind three boys and a wife in '89
Am
As the track marks inched their way up your arm
C Em
My mother taught my brothers and I not to call you daddy
C
But to call you father
Am F
But I believe there is something here to be learned of grace
Am
'Cause I can't help but love you
F
No I can't help but love you
Am
Even with a heart that breaks
F
Like the promises that you made
Am
Like the promises that you made
F
The promises that you made
Am F Am F
'Cause I still love you

C Em
My God, what a world you love
