A Pound of Flesh Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G][Em][G]
[Em]
[G]

[Verse 1]
My feet plow [G]on
From light to dawn
My empty belly [Em]and my body aches
Ain't hard to take
Next to the weight
[D]I[G]

[Verse 2]
carry in my chest
A pound of flesh
Could never tip [Em]the scale that I've made
I should have stayed
But I [D]was never wise

[Verse 3]
[C]I hear your voices in [D]the wind
that cuts [Em]the night
And [C]I pray to whatever [D]is listening

[Interlude 1]
things'll be all right
[G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Oh, my boy, [Bm]you're alive
[Em]Your[B] heart[Em]'s still beati[Bm]ng[D]
So [G]don't you mind,
[Bm]don't [Em]you mind[B]
[Em]We all drift [Bm]sometimes[D]

[Verse 5]
[C]I can still hear you[D]r feet as
you ran from [Em]the house
Knowing [C]you won't [D]be back doesn't
[Em]mean that I will stop [B]waiting
[C]You told me then, hold me [D]down,
hold me up to [Em]the fire
But [G]don't [C]you dare hold [D]me back
[G]Whoa

[Interlude 2]
[G][Em][D][G]
[Em]
[D][G]

[Verse 6]
[C]I see your face's in [D]the clouds
that scar [Em]the night
And [G]I pray [C]to whoever is [D]listening
things'll be all right
[G]

[Verse 7]
[Em]Then today [G]I wake up feeling easy
And find [D]I'm [Bm]on the more
famili[G]ar roads[C]
[G]I got a d[Em]arkness wrapped ins[D]ide me
But now it [G]ain't so hard to let [C]it go
So [Em]keep a candle burning in the win[D]dow
I'm almost [G]home

[Outro 1]
[G][G][G]
