Standing at the Threshold — Deer Tick
Chords and lyrics for Standing at the Threshold by Deer Tick (key of Am).
Verse 1
[Am]You and me created something special
[Em]You and me always standing at the threshold
[Am]Forgive me, I've created a monster
[Em]The police said that they cannot help your daughter
[C]Sometimes it takes a tough man to[Am] hide
Sing it soft just like a [Em]lullaby
I'll fall apart from the inside [F]and [E]die
[Am]Kept my faith from the day that you left
With a [Em]big old hallelujah carved into my chest
[Am]You smothered me in images of death
Don't [Em]play around now, take my life instead
[C]Sometimes it takes a tough man to[Am] hide
Sing it soft just like a [Em]lullaby
I'll fall apart from the inside [F]and [E]die
[C]I don't doubt that everything is [Am]what you gave me
but [F]I've gotta be frank, and [G]baby
It just wasn't [C][Am][F]enough[G#dim][G]
[Am] [Em] [Am] [Em] [Am]
