Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Em]
You kick [G]the blow,
now you gotta kick [Em]the guy
You sat [G]alone under billowing [Em]sky
If I feel [D]god judging [Em]me,
Well I fell into [D]the water,
now [Em]I'm free.

[Verse 2]
My friends [Em]don't really get me,
think I'm the only one
Well I sold [G]my soul [D]to Jesus and since
[C]then I've [Em]had no fun
Behind every tree is a cutting machine
and a kite fallen from grace
Inside [G]every man [D]is a heart of sand
you can see [C]it in [Em]his face.
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick [D]away.
An[Em]other second lost with every
[D]fallen grain.
[Em]He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick [D]away.
[Em]An other second lost
with every [D]fallen grain.
The [Em]wind and I, we speak

[Verse 3]
[Em]the same,
but he don't hear so well.
You're [D]gonna have to curse
him well you're [Em]gonna have to yell.
The sky and I, we've had our
fights and I'm coming down to rain,
If the rain come [G]round and it [D]don't come
out, then I'll [C]never have to speak [Em]again,
I can tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick [D]away.
Another [Em]second lost with
every fallen [D]grain.
Can [Em]tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick [D]away.
Another [Em]second lost with
every fallen [D]grain.

[Verse 4]
The [Em]cap tains [E]got his boots on and he's
[B]heading out the door,
[D]Leaving his lady alone thinkin'
[Em]"he don't love me no more"
He's done with all this bullshit,
he's going back to war,
If heaven is as [D]heaven does then
[C]this is hell for [Em]sure
And he'll tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick [D]away.
Another [Em]second lost with
every fallen [D]grain.
He'll [Em]tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick [D]away.
Another [Em]second lost with
every fallen [D]grain.
You [G]kick the blow,

[Verse 5]
now you gotta kick the [Em]guy
You sat [G]alone under [Em]billowing sky*
If I feel [D]god judging [Em]me,
Well I fell into the [D]water, now I'm [Em]free
[B]
