[Verse 1]
Am
From a tender age, I was cursed with rage
C
Came swingin' like a fist inside a battin' cage
F
I went swimmin' with the Devil at the bottom of a lake
G G#dim
And he left me there by my lonesome
Am
He was tall and mean with venom eyes so green
C
Wanted reconciliation, but my tongue was in my teeth
F
I couldn't find the floor, so I was kickin' with my feet
G G#dim
But they weren't there, they were stolen
[Chorus]
Am
There is a lighthouse
G F
In thе middle of the deep end
Em Dm
I'm still strandеd on the shoreline there
G G#dim
And nobody hears me scream
Am
And I'll lure you like a landslide
G F
And I'll show you lovely things
Em
If you rescue me, but they'll make-believe
G G#dim
The lighthouse by the sea
[Verse 2]
Am
I met a sailor on a ship with promise in his eyes
C
He kissed me on the mouth and dug his fingers in my thighs
F
But a sailor ain't a savior 'cause they only tell you lies
G G#dim
So I left him there 'til the sunrise
Am
Well, the waves were tall and they were crashin' down
C
He's layin' in the water, begging God to let him drown
F
So I showed him all my teeth and then I laughed out loud
*G*
'Cause I never wanted savin', I just wanted to be found
[Chorus]
Am
There is a lighthouse
G F
In thе middle of the deep end
Em Dm
I'm still strandеd on the shoreline there
G G#dim
And nobody hears me scream
Am
And I'll lure you like a landslide
G F
And I'll show you lovely things
Em
If you rescue me, but they'll make-believe
G G#dim
The lighthouse by the sea
[Bridge]
Am
Well, that should teach a man to mess with me
C
He was never seen again and I'm still wanderin' the beach
*F*
And I'm glad I met the Devil 'cause he showed me I was weak
G G#dim
And a little piece of him is in a little piece of me
[Chorus]
Am
There is a lighthouse
G F
In thе middle of the deep end
Em Dm
I'm still strandеd on the shoreline there
G G#dim
And nobody hears me scream
Am
And I'll lure you like a landslide
G F
And I'll show you lovely things
Em
If you rescue me, but they'll make-believe
G G#dim
The lighthouse by the sea
G Em F
[Outro]
G Em F
And the waves come crashing down
G Em F
And the waves come crashing down
G Em F
And the waves come crashing down
G Em F
And the waves come crashing down
G Em F
And the waves come crashing down
G Em F
And the waves come crashing down
From a tender age I was cursed with rage
Came swinging like a fist inside a batting cage
I went swimming with the devil at the bottom of a lake
And he left me there by my lonesome
He was tall and mean with venom eyes so green
Wanted reconciliation, but my tongue was in my teeth
And I couldn't find the floor so I was kickin with my feet
But they weren't there, they were stolen
There is a lighthouse in the
Middle of the deep end
I'm still standing on the shore line
And nobody hears me scream
And I'll lure you like a landslide
And I'll show you lovely things
If you rescue me but they'll make believe
The lighthouse by the sea
I met a sailor on a ship with promise in his eyes
He kissed me on the mouth and dug his fingers in my thighs
But a sailor ain't a savior 'cause they only tell you lies
So I left him there till the sunrise
Well, the waves were tall and they were crashing down
He's laying in the water begging God to let him drown
So I showed him all my teeth and then I laughed out loud
'Cause I never wanted saving, I just wanted to be found
There is a lighthouse in the
Middle of the deep end
I'm still stranded on the shore line
And nobody hears me scream
And I'll lure you like a landslide
And I'll show you lovely things
If you rescue me but they'll make believe
The lighthouse by the sea
Well, that should teach a man to mess with me
He was never seen again
And I'm still wandering the beach
And I'm glad I met the devil
'Cause he showed me I was weak
And a little piece of him is in a little piece of me
There is a lighthouse in the
Middle of the deep end
I'm still standing on the shore line
And nobody hears me scream
And I'll lure you like a landslide
And I'll show you lovely things
If you rescue me but they'll make believe
The lighthouse by the sea
And the waves come crashing down
And the waves come crashing down
And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)
And the waves come crashing down (And the waves come crashing down)
