Deer Tick - Ashamed
Intro
[C]
Verse 1
[C]I am the boy your mother wanted you to meet but I am
[Am] broken and torn with heels at my feet
And [F]with your purest light why don't you shine on me
Well, I [C]should have been an angel but I'm too dumb to speak
[C] Now as she gets nearer, the visions get clearer
[Am] I'm kneeling, weeping. I will hold her dear
Oh, [F]if your eyes water, you've got your favorite number to [C]spin
Chorus
And [Am]oh, [F][C][G][C]ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
What a crying [Am]shame, a crying [F]shame
What we [C][G]became[C]
Verse 2
[C] Murdered my throat, screaming bloody all night
[Am]Hit him with a book and how he crumbles
[F]Oh, you should have seen how the arches tumble
They're[C] golden no more, now I'm smiling in my blood
[C] I'm caught in a whirlwind
I'm going to [Am]heaven
I'm standing on trial and it's painted on [F]canvas
An eternal testament to how we are so [C]animalistic
Chorus
And [Am]oh, [F][C][G][C]ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
What a crying [Am]shame, a crying [F]shame
What we [C][G]became[C]
Verse 3
[C] I bowed my head in the morning light and said goodnight
[Am] I held her hand and I, I kissed her eyes
[F]Stumbled down the stairs and hang myself on high
And I [C]started for the town, lyin' in the front yard and died
