A#
It was April the tenth
    Dm
I remember it well
       A#
It was so cold that year
       Dm
It was colder than hell

And things hadn't been good
For you, for a while
'Cause I'd been on tour
I hadn't heard

And Ruth dropped in
With the letter you wrote
And we read it aloud
To prove that I could
And we were both laughing
'cause we know how you are

We never thought
You'd quit on us good
We thought that we knew you
Well, I guess that we don't
Are you having me on
Just like the past?
We called you "the bad penny"
Remember that?

The sea is wide
The streets are long
There's blood on all our hands
With the catalyst gone
And only what's left to us
Is history built on dust
On sweat, and on poet's words
Great nations and governments
Feed lies on victories
Eager and keen to please
Those junkies are everywhere
With their thousand-yard stare
We all end up the same
Like little lambs to meet their end
