Cruel written by Joey Burns and Calexico
Capo on 3d
A# Dm F
Cruel, cruel grounds
A# Dm F
Leak truths never found
D# A#
Torturous ways
D# A#
Whisper from the grave
D# A# F
G slow spun song of distortion
A# Dm F
Bitter, bitter mouth
A# Dm F
Spitin' out seeds of doubt
D# A#
Rituals seek root
D# A#
Razed before they're told
D# A# F
Stories break like branches in the cold
Gm D# Gm Dm F
Seasons trial finds man's mistakes fair game
Gm Dm
A# Dm F
Careless hand
A# Dm F
Lay and law of the land
D# A#
Falls by the side
D# A#
Silenced sentient cries
D# A# F
All within the lines of divine right
Gm D# Gm Dm F
Better bury the tracks in an unclosed case
Gm Dm
Gm Dm Gm Dm D#
Weeds of discontent choke a broken ghost landscape
A# D#
Cruel, heartless reign
A# D#
Chasing short term gains
A# F D#
Right down to the warning signs
A# D#
Birds refuse to fly
A# D#
No longer trust the sky
A# F D#
Drifting out beyond the signals
A# D#
Even the horizon is gone
A# D#
Weather flees underground
A# F Gm Dm
Future's left to wallow in fortune's waste
Gm Dm
