C I've run to ground Am G F C I've run from everyone that I have ever known C I'm aching cold Am G F C I'm aching from the bones the very blood of me Chorus: Am And it's broke before you know it G Before you knew what it was for F All you know is you can't fix it C And you wish you'd listened more Am To your instincts to your family G To the wisdom you'd ignored F C G Are you finally gonna ask us for help? I've crashed to Earth But I've fallen for so long that it was just relief I saw your face In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes Chorus Chorus: I can see you at the front gate As you wait on my return The years have blurred to eons But the tears have never dried But I'm not coming to you like this So battered down and sad I will take the road forgotten again You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
