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