Broken yoke in western sky, my stomach turned, my mouth went dry
I knew I'd never known fear before
I press my bones into the seat, took one last look at you next to me
I kicked open the sliding door and I threw myself out on the road
torn flesh and broken bones
on the shoulders patchy grass; I faded into your past
I know it was a cowardly thing to do and that an explanation is not an excuse
I just want you to understand that love is only a type of greed of equal portions want
need
and you cannot divorce the two and I could not sleep at all
with all the rumble strip close calls in the gravel and scattered trash; I faded into
past
then play a G into the next verse, the modifications go as followed:
32003x --> 30003x (merely picking 5th string) --> 20003x (basically just picking 6th
--> 00003x (again with the picking)
when you think twice
D 2 4
0
B 0 <-- after this note, switch to G
you arrive at the same conclusion
it's bad advice
D 2 4 0 --> switch to G right after
0
only if you use it
Broken yoke in western sky, my stomach turned, my mouth went dry
