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

    Em
My friends they don't really get me,

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

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

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

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

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