Capo: 6th fret
[Intro]
C/G Dm
F G C/G
[Verse 1]
C/G Dm
Your arrow ain't sharp but age may deadly your aim
F G C/G
If I'll kill and get killed my dear, would you love me the same
C/G Dm
And as I get older, I realize that time has a way
F G C/G
And the patience you've build in your youth will discern how you age
[Chorus]
Dm
And some song I'd swore I'd never sing
Am
From years before I held a dream
Dm
My pages worn like oaths I keep
F G C/G
I'll die between the paper and the ink
[Verse 2]
C/G Dm
This journal ain't mine but it's filled with my misery
F G C/G
Passed down by a friend who was taken too soon to complete
C/G Dm
And bound in the blood of living like we were deceased
F G C/G
Now I live with the debt that it easily could have been me
[Chorus]
Dm
And some song I'd swore I'd never sing
Am
From years before I held a dream
Dm
My pages worn like oaths I keep
F G C/G
I'll die between the paper and the ink
[Verse 3]
C/G Dm
So lay your head easy, don't shed tears for me
F G C/G
We are given this life but nobody said it was free
C/G Dm
Oh, ooooh, oooooh, ohohohooo, Ooh
F G Am
Mhhhhh-Mhhhh-Mhhhh-Mhhhh-Mhhh
[Chorus]
Dm
And some song I'd swore I'd never sing
Am
From years before I held a dream
Dm
My pages worn like oaths I keep
F G C/G
I'll die between the paper and the ink
Your arrow ain't sharp but age made deadly your aim
If I kill or get killed, my dear, would you love me the same
And as I get older I realize the time has a way
And the patience you build in your youth will discern how you age
And some song I swore I'd never sing
From years before I held a dream
My page is worn like oaths I keep
I'll die between the paper and the ink
This journal ain't mine but it's filled with my misery
Passed down by a friend who was taken too soon to complete
And bound in the blood of living like we were deceased
Now I live with the debt that it easily could have been me
And some song I swore I'd never sing
From years before I held a dream
My page is worn like oaths I keep
I'll die between the paper and the ink
So lay your head easy, don't shed tears for me
We are given this life but nobody said it was free
And some song I swore I'd never sing
From years before I held a dream
My page is worn like oaths I keep
I'll die between the paper and the ink
