Chuck Ragan's "Nothing Left To Prove" of the 'Covering Ground' record.
Intro: B5
Verse 1:
E
I could walk for miles looking for those eyes,
A5
just to see the light I need,
E B5
Before the darkness comes sealing up my fate.
E A5
And listen close for the ringing tone, and true to it I'll be,
E B
and take the road that was cut for you and me,
Pre-Chorus:
A E
I couldn't wait for the call,
E
ever since you were all,
A E B
and everything to break me from my sleep.
Chorus 1:
C#m A
Well silence took me, fierce and blindly
B C#m
shadows became walls,
A C#m
I found the floor, with the broken boards,
B E
and the grits for the mill gone.
Verse 2:
E A
With nothing left but a chord to stretch and word to get on by,
E B
sometimes you reach for the bottle before the sky.
E
Yea, well we all rise to fallen time,
A
like governments gone wrong, reverberate,
E B E
A call arms, to cut, or wear out our tongues.
