C....................G
You walked with a limp
C........................G
and I was worried about that
Bb..................Am
but it turned out alright
.......G....................F
turned out that you were ok
and they pulled the car up
they helped you to the ground
never met anyone like you
who wasn't always so fucked up, blue
..........C
and I know
......../B............Am
well I know that I can't
G..............F
feel that way too
..Em...........Dm
I won't get so bleak
....G.................C
and I won't feel so blue

Am.....G..........F
can't you just come
.......................G
can't you just come down
the three of us left
I was trailing behind
with it all set up like that
I thought I'd never see you again
you can find me in the corner or in the back
under any sort of red light
I can make it outside
you know I can make it there alright
and I know
well I know that I can't
feel that way too
I won't get so bleak
and I won't feel so blue
and I know that I can't
feel that way too
I'd rather know what its like
to feel so through
I feel so through
I just got to figure out how not to
can't you just come down
can't you just come down
can't you just come
can't you just come down
come down

a path for my feet
F.............C

Capo II
Em
Was a girl
G
such a pretty girl
Em.....................G
hunched over an old man
Em
she wore a smile
C
such a crooked smile
F................................G
she had blood stains on her hands
C.................................G
she had blood stains on her hands
not so long
not so far away
a woman and her man
took a walk
just a sunday walk
on the outskirts of town
and he knocked that woman down
...........Bb.......F.........Em.......A
what the mind forgets the soul reclaims
C..................G
all my love's in vain
was a man
such a twisted man
he had something on his mind
for a child
and unwanted child
so he swung her round and round
and the river took her down
what the mind forgets the soul reclaims
all my love's in vain
golden curls
like her mothers own
the spirit of a man
all the while
she grew up single mind
to avenge her mother's soul
to avenge her mother's soul
what the mind forgets the soul reclaims
all my love's in vain
what the mind forgets the soul reclaims
all my love's in
all my love's in vain
