Intro: Bm F Bm F Bm F Bm F Bm 

verse 1: 
C#                  G# 
I dunno what I was thinking, 
Bbm                G# 
Leaving my child behind, 
Bbm              G#              Bbm 
Now I suffer the curse and now I am blind 

G#                   Bbm 
With all this anger, guilt and sadness, 
D#m                  F# 
Coming to haunt me forever, 
                      F                      Bbm 
I can't wait for the cliff at the end of the river, 

Bbm                  G# 
Is this revenge I am seeking, 
   Bbm                 F 
Or seeking someone to avange me 
      Bbm           G#                C# 
Stuck in my own paradox I wanna set myself free 

   G#          Bbm 
Maybe I should chase and find 
  F                   F# 
before they'll try to stop it 
    Bbm            G#                 Bbm 
It won't be long before I'll become a puppet 

[Refrão]

     Bbm     G# 
It's been so long, 
     Bbm 
Since I last have seen my son 
             F# 
lost to this monster 
       F               Bbm 
to the man behind the slaughter 

      Bbm         G# 
Since you've been gone 
     Bbm 
I've been singing this stupid song 
           F# 
So I could ponder 
     F             Bbm 
The sanity of your mother 

verse 2: 
C#                    G# 
I wish I lived in the present 
         Bbm                G# 
With the gift of my past mistakes 
       Bbm            G#              Bbm 
But the future keeps luring in like a pack of snakes 

                  G#                Bbm 
Your sweet little eyes, your little smile, 
D#m        F# 
is all I remember 
                  F               Bbm 
Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper 

Bbm              G# 
Justification is killing me 
    Bbm                 F 
But killing isn't justified 
     Bbm            G#            C# 
What happened to my son, I'm terrified 

   G#            Bbm                   F                 F# 
It lingers in my mind and the thought keeps on getting bigger, 
    Bbm            G#                 Bbm 
I'm sorry my sweet baby, I wish I've been there.
