The Gaslight Anthem
Capo 4th fret
Like a child i can sit in the corner
With these pills i can barely get by
So i wait for the hour of approval
Ten minutes until it's five
And it's friday, so i don't feel so lonely
I know the wolves are out tonight
The sound of ice in a bottomless glass
Tells me that all that is fine
Playing guitar and i'm forgetting words
Like a baby who just learned to speak
Unfinished songs that i swear i'd get done
But the premise was just kind of weak
Like the moon you are cold, you are distant
Like the sun i can burn through the day
In the valley the echo gets longer
They've all gone away
Playing guitar and i'm forgetting words
Like a baby who just learned to speak
Unfinished songs that i swear i'd get done
But the premise was just kind of weak
There is time to reflect and ponder
As the chips fall where they may
I will live for the sake of others
So they can do the same
