native son Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]These words I give to you
When you feel the cold night closing [Am]in
My native [C]son
[Em]These wounds how you feel
You feel the thorns that pierce your [Am]skin
I feel [C]your [Em]hurt
[Am]This world can [Em]be cold
But [D]this is all we [Em]have
[Am]I'm talking to y[Em]ou, my native [D]son
When [Em]the days overcome [G]you
When [C]the taste won't go away
[D]You're a chi[C]ld of cre[Em]ation
And [C]you were made this [D]way
With [Em]blackness close [G]behind you
And with a [C]wickedness [D]so fast
You're [C]a child of cre[Em]ation
Of these vam[D]pires
You walk your [C]path[Em]
This cold that bites your skin
It cuts like knives into your [Am]heart
Forever [C]winter
[Em]These names that break you
We all have a side to us that can[Am]'t turn
Just watch me [C]break
[Am]This world can be [Em]cruel,
but [D]this is all we [Em]have
[Am]I am talking to yo[Em]u, my native son[D]
When [Em]the day has overcome [G]you
When the [C]taste won't go away
[D]You're a chi[C]ld of creati[Em]on
And [C]you were made this [D]way
With [Em]blackness close behind [G]you
And with [C]wickedness coming fast
[D]You're a chi[C]ld of creati[Em]on
On this real [D]path
You walk your [C]path

[Verse 2]
[D]Don't be afraid to walk
in the footprints
where [Em]others fail
[D]Strangers surround you,
taunt and betray you, [C]bring [D]you [Em]down
[C]These [D]are the free words,
these are the true words I [Em]give to you
Just [D]walk in the footprints,
don't be afraid to [C]stand [D]your [C]ground,
my son
[Am]This world can be [Em]cruel,
but [D]this is all we [Em]have
[Am]I am talking to yo[Em]u, my native son[D]
When the [Em]taste has overcome [G]you
When the [C]pain won't go away
[D]You're a c[C]hild of cre[Em]ation
And [C]you were made this [D]way
And with [Em]blackness close behind [G]you
And with [C]wickedness coming fast
[D]You're a c[C]hild of creati[Em]on
On these world [D]pies
You walk your [C]path
