Redacted Tabulatur von Jake Smith And Gina Smith (für Baryton)

Intro
G5


Gm
The words that I once loved

Now drip with unease

As I step back and at once

See the forest for the trees


Eb
It won’t matter our intentions
Gm
Our hopes or our plans
     Cm             Eb
What matters is the end result
F
This book in my hands


   Cm
No one will know how well we meant
    Gm      Gm7
How much we sacrificed
           C
Cause this story’s how we broke the world
             Gm
And couldn’t pay the price


Bb       Eb
So I’ll redact and I’ll revise
Bb
Recut the truth and redefine the lies
     Eb
Step back and see our story
            Gm
Through the future’s eyes


   Gb        Ab
An agonizing revision
F7               Bbm
Made with exact precision
     Gb                   Ab  Db  Gb
Only alone can I see this vision through
Db        Gb 
Spare the world
    Ab5                  Gm
And then make it back to you


Gm7


         Gm
I’ve the power to change things
      Gm7            
And I know I have to try
      Gm
And I called it. I knew it.

Now I’ve got to pin down why


Ebmaj7
Put aside your pride, Lucretia
Gm
Time you stopped pretending
  Ebmaj7
A story isn’t good
          Gm7
If we all hate the ending


     Cm7          Cm
I’ve learned that faith is lovely
       Bb
But it never goes as planned
       C
If you want something done
        Eb            F
Take it into your own hand


   Ebmaj7 
So I’ll redact and I’ll revise

They’ll be safe and they’ll be happy

Ab   Gb              Ab
Same people and same world
               Fm              Bbm Ab
Just with some bits subtracted


Gb
Give them beaches and sun
      Ab                      Db    Bbm Ab
And a taste of their favorite things
Gb
Give them the world
Ab              Db                   Bbm
And a chance to sample the flavor it brings
          Ebm
Give them crafts and keeps and love
      Db
And a chance to reset
        Db
All the pain of the past
    Db          Gb
The stories and songs
                            F7     F
And the choices we’d rather forget
