CAPO ON FIRST FRET

[Verse]
            
It kills me no

              
t to know this

          
 but I've all 

but just forgo

tten
         
What the color

 of her eyes w

ere
             
and her scars 

       
or how she got

 them
            
As the telling

              
 signs of age 

            
rain down a si

ngle tear is d

ropping
             
Through the va

              
lleys of an ag

              
ing face that 

             
this world has

 
 forgotten

[Instrumental]
     

[Verse]
            
There is no re

              
conciliation t

And there is n

              
o time like th

             
e present to d

              
rink these dra

      
ining seconds
            
But seldom do 

              
these words ri

             
ng true when I

'm constantly 

failing you
             
Like walls tha

h until we dis

[Chorus]
           
So tell me now
              
If this ain't

[Verse]
        
But the day pr

essed on like 

crushing weigh

ts
    
For no man doe

s it ever wait
     
Like memories 

of dying days
             
That deafen us

      
 like hurrican

es

Bathed in flam

es we held the

 brand
  
Uncurled the f

ingers in your

 hand

Pressed into t

he flesh like 

sand
             
Now do you und

  
erstand?

[Chorus]
           
So tell me now

1000 miles awa

But so much le

             
ft that I don'

We never had a

 
 choice
              
This world is 

         
too much noise
              
It takes me un

It takes me un
