Rule #44 - Badger Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]This badger clinging on my back
Is the strangest coach I've ever had
It [C]simply [Am]will not let me be
[Em]Sulking in [Am]a misery
[D]When I try[Em] to say the world is pretty unfair
He whispers in my [Am]ear,
[Em]"I wouldn't go there"
[C]He simply [D]will not let me [Em]be
[Am]Sulking in a misery
[D]See,

[Verse 2]
in the ring, you'll [B]find[D]
[Em]It's a fight for your life
[D]A choice to make a fist
[Em]Or lay down on[D] t[G]he side
Lines either in or [D]down (or down)
Your [G]bell will make its [Am]sound (ah)
With a limit on the [B]time
[Em]To dec[B]ide

[Verse 3]
His [Em]claws are digging in my [Am]back
Using [Em]thoughts I wish I never [Am]had
It simply will not let me be
[Em]Buried by [Am]the misery
When I [Em]wanna be alone to cover my head
To hide inside the blanket of
[Am]a warm bed[Em]
[C]He simply will not let me
[Am]be (let me b[Em]e)
Buried by the misery

[Verse 4]
See, [D]in the ring, you'll [Bm]find
[Em]It's a fight for your life
A [D]choice to make a fist
Or [Em]lay down [D]on t[G]he side
Lines [C]either in or [D]down
(either in or down)
Your [G]bell will make its [C]sound
(bell will make its sound)
With a [Am]limit on the [B]time (with a limit
on the time)
To decide

[Verse 5]
See, [Em]bristles scratchin' in my
shirt (on my shirt)
Has [Am]kept me from lying in the dirt
An itch that [Em]never seems to [Am]leave
(never leaves)
[Em]Distracts me from the [Am]misery
[D]He's kee[Em]ping me from sinking
[Am]into dark [Em]clouds
The heights that I would fall
[Am]would break my legs [Em]now
[C]He simply will not let me [Am]be
[Em]Soaking in a misery

[Verse 6]
See, [D]in the ring, you'll [B]find[F#m]
[Em]It's a fight for your life
A [D]choice to make a fist
Or [Em]lay down [D]on t[G]he side
Lines [C]either in or down (or down)
Your [G]bell will make its [C]sound [Am](whoo)
With a limit on the [B]time
To decide

[Verse 7]
This [Em]badger hanging on my [Am]back
[Em]Never lends me any slack
[Am]He s[C]imply wi[Am]ll not let me
rub (he won't)
The [Em]hands of the misery I love
[D]When I wanna be a bur[Em]den
to my own soul
He reminds me of my youth
or when I had goals
[Am]He simply will not let me
be [D](let me [Em]be)
Caged inside a misery
[D]See,

[Verse 8]
in the ring, you'll find
[Em]It's a fight for your life
[D]A choice to make a fist
Or lay down on [G]the side
Lines [C]either in or [Am]down (or down)
[D]Your bel[G]l will mak[Em]e its sou[C]nd
(it'll make it)
With a [Am]limit on the [B]time
(with a limit on the time)
To decide
[D]

[Verse 9]
[Em]
Yeah, but whatever
