[Verse 1]
[Dm]
This is year [Am]one[Dm]
The [F]birth of a [Am]child in the form of a man
[G]Wrapped in tow[Dm]el
Passed out on the floor
These [F]drunken [Am]hours
-- graces deflowered
Cast [G]down by an [Dm]angel
She [F]used [Am]to kiss his weeping eyes
De[G]pressed in her [Dm]bosom
Tears [F]roll off [Am]her nipple
[Em]Sweet [G]baby, don't

[Verse 2]
[F]cry...
Your tears are only [C]alibis
To prove [Am]you still [G]feel --
You only [Am]feel sorry for your

Depression seeps in on a lonely

Now he drinks with the lepers
[G]Losing a [Dm]limb, his better half
A glass [F]once half [Em]full[Am]
A head hung half-mast
He He [G]claims he's [Dm]the victim
[F]Strangled by the [Am]nine-to-five
And And And a [G]pattern [Dm]of stillness
That [F]haunted [Am]this still life

Screaming your [C]agonies, [G]playing the [Am]saint
