[Verse 1]

Cm9 Fm9
He told me sweet lies of sweet loves
Cm9 Fm9
Heavy with the burden of the truth
Cm9 Fm9
And he spoke of his dreams
Ebmaj7
Broken by the burden
Fm9
Broken by the burden of his youth

[Break/Solo 2]

Cm9 Fm9
(x2)

[Verse 2]

Cm9
“Fourteen years,” he said
Fm9
“I couldn’t look into the sun
Cm9 Fm9
She saw him laying at the end of my gun”

[Chorus]

Ebm9
Hungry for life
Gm7 Ebm9 Ab
And thirsty for the distant river
Ebm9
I remember his hands
Gm7
And the way the mountains looked
Ebm9 Ab
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
Ebm9
Hungry for life
Gm7 Ebm9 Ab
And thirsty for the distant river

[Break/Solo 3]

Cm9 Fm9
(x6)

[Outro]

Ebm9
Like the scar of age
Gm7
Written all over my face
Ebm9 Ab
The war is still raging inside of me
Ebm9
I still feel the chill
Gm7
As I reveal my shame to you
Ebm9 Ab
I wear it like a tattoo
Ebm9 Ab
I wear it like a tattoo
Ebm9 Ab
I wear it like a tattoo
