son of shame Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Looking past the edge of moonlight,
[G]hoping for the break [D]of day.
Seeing only cracks in sidewalks,
not [A]the paved city way.
Looking down [D]this road to glory [G]in a car
designed [D]to fail.
Breathing cold winds of freedom while
[A]my mind remains [D]in jail.

[Verse 2]
Looking past the edge of moonlight,
hoping for [G]the break of [D]day.
Seeing only cracks in sidewalks,
not [A]the paved city way.
Looking down [D]this road to glory in
[G]a car designed to [D]fail.
Breathing cold winds of freedom
while [A]my mind remains [D]in jail.
With a strong [G]steady

[Verse 3]
tailwind, all
[D]I see is pouring [A]rain.
A victim [G]of a brutal mindset walks
[D]this lonely son [A]of shame.
Because the grass [D]is always greener,
I will sit [G]here in [Bm]my pain.
[D]Looking at the wealth around me. Woe [G]is me,
[A]this son [D]of shame.

[Verse 4]
[D]Well it's pouring snow on the outside,
but all I'm seeing [G]is the [D]slush.
Looking at the wealth around me, but
[A]just thinking I ain't got much.
I'm that man [D]that's prone to worry
in that far [G]off glory [D]land.
Who do I think I'm kidding? No
[A]one cares or understand[D]s.
With [G]a strong steady tailwind, all

[Verse 5]
[D]
I see is pouring [A]rain.
[G]A victim of a brutal mindset walks
[D]this lonely son of [A]shame.
Because the grass [D]is always greener,
I will sit [G]here in [Bm]my pain.
[D]Looking at the wealth around me. Woe is me,
[A]this son [D]of shame.

[Verse 6]
And then I start to [D]wonder about
[G]all that I've been [D]through.
I opened up my eyes and see that
[A]every day is new.
I con[D]sider all my ways; the
[G]paths that I've pur[Bm]sued.
Man, I'm so [D]ashamed [Bm]as I sit
here [A]with a life misused.
[D]

[Verse 7]
With [G]a mountain set before
me all [D]I see is vic[A]tory.
[G]But I know there's someone out
there and [D]His mind remains [A]on me.
Says the Father [D]o'er his children,
"It was for you [G]that [Bm]I came.
[D]You're the apple of my eye, son,
my precious [A]son [D]of shame...[G]
[D]...shame... [A]son of sha[D]me...[G]
[D]shame... [A]son of sha[D]me."
