Intro - Em Em

G G Em Em
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy.
G G Em Em
You sat alone under billowing sky
D D Em Em
If I feel God judging me,
D D Em Em
Well I fell into the water, and now I'm free.

Em Em
My friends they don't really get me,

think I'm the only one
G G D D C C Em Em
Well i sold my soul to Jesus and since then ive had no fun
Em Em
Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace
G G D D C C Em Em
Inside every man is a heart of sand you can see it in his face.

Em Em D D
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em Em D D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Em Em D D
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em Em D D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

Em Em
The wind and I, we speak the same, but he don't hear so well.
D D
You're gonna have to curse him,
Em Em
Well you're gonna have to yell.
Em Em
The sky and I, we've had our fights and I'm coming round to rain,
G G D D
If the rain come round and don't go out,
C C Em Em
and I'll never have to speak again,

Em Em D D
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em Em D D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Em Em D D
Can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em Em D D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

Em Em
The captains got his boots on and he's heading out the door,
D D Em Em
Leaving his lady alone thinkin' "He don't love me no more."
Em Em
He's done with all this bullshit,

He's going back to war,
G G D D
If Heaven is as Heaven does,
C C Em Em
then this is Hell for sure...


Em Em D D
And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em Em D D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Em Em D D
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em Em D D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

G G Em Em
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy.
G G Em Em
You sat alone under billowing sky
D D Em Em
If I feel God judging me,
D D Em Em
Well I fell into the water, now I'm free.
