Verse
Em
I saw it for a second but then the light was fading
Em
Sister morphine was my lady in waiting
Am
Can I help it if I can’t help it now,
Em
all the stories I tell myself
[Pre-chorus]
G D Am Em
What can I say to you all,
C G D Dsus4
it’s fair to say, no words will do
G D C Am
All this time, time is speeding, it’s hard to recognize the life we’re leaving
G Em Am D
it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go now
G D C Am
And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle
G Em Am D
cradle to the grave, sword to the saddle, it’s each other we will miss
Am D G
Oh the happiest moment of my life,
Am D Em
was the saddest moment of my life
Em

[Verse 2]
Em
Was in prison when my daddy died
Em
They didn’t tell me for fear of suicide
Am
Told me when I got outside,
Em
I started using as soon as I was alone that night
[Pre-chorus]
G D Am Em
And I died and I went up straight to him
C G D Dsus4
He said where you been, my troubled son
[Chorus]
G D C Am
All this time, time is speeding, it’s hard to recognize the life we’re leaving
G Em Am D
it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go now
G D C Am
And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle
G Em Am D
cradle to the grave, sword to the saddle, it’s each other we will miss
Am D G
Oh the happiest moment of my life,
Am D Em
was the saddest moment of my life

All this time, time is speeding, it’s hard to recognize the life we’re leaving

Oh you almost saved me

You almost saved me nooooooooow
G C D
You almost saved me nooooooooow
G D C Am
All this time we pledge allegiance to the tune of a thousand treasons
G Em Am D
One nation under something, under water, under mass incarceration
G D C Am
In the age of feast and famine can we disrupt the social canon
G Em C D
Let our children lead so we all believe, let us see the forest for the trees
[Outro]
