A Pound Of Flesh

buy his records at tuned down a half step Intro : C Am ( x2 ) C my feet plow on from light to dawn Am my empty belly and my body aches ain’t hard to take G C next to the weight i carry in my chest Am a pound of flesh could never tip the scale that i’ve made G F i should have stayed , but i was never wise G Am i hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night F G C and i pray to whatever is listening things will be alright Am oh , my boy , you’re alive G your heart’s still beating C Am so don’t you mind , don’t you mind G we all drift sometimes F G Am i can still hear your feet as you ran from the house F G but knowing you won’t be back , Am Em doesn’t mean that i will stop waiting F G Am you told me then : hold me down or hold me up to the fire , F G but don’t you dare hold me back . Interlude : C Am [ quick G ] ( x2 ) F G Am i see your faces in the clouds that scar the night F G C and i pray to whoever is listening things will be alright Am G then today i wake up feeling easy , C F and find i’m on the more familiar roads Am G i got a darkness wrapped inside me , C F but now it ain’t so hard to let it go Am G so keep a candle burning in the window , C i’m almost home - ben malley
