Vampire Suicide

band : woodbox gang album : trashcan americana vampire suicide Verse 1 G Em my father is a watching under me G Em he’s been watching for eternity G Em and i’ve done him proud but i’m moving on G Em gonna take my chances in the morning sun Chorus G and let it shine and shine Em shine on me G let it shine and shine Em shine on me G i’ll let the light shine Em shine on me G Em let it shine and shine on me Verse 2 i climbed my deepest sadness i sank down in my darkest fear i swam through the abyss and i Am standing right here i took a wandering path around that straight and narrow trail and i carved my initials in a tree with three nails Verse 3 well i showed my scars to a woman on the street yeah i swallowed my pride when there was nothing else to eat i’ll shake the hand of a stranger when the morning comes to greet oh i’ll stand in the dawn and let it be my defeat
