History to the Defeated The Weakerthans
Standard turning (You can also try playing this with a capo on 2.. it might be easier)
There's [Bm]blood in the [A]sink,
and he's [D]plunging his [G]wrists in.
A [Bm]hangover [A]halo is
[G]washing a[D]way.
Me[Bm]chanic-school [A]dropout
stares [D]into the [G]mirror,
stands [Bm]up in his [A]derelict
[G]daydreams. [D]
[Bm]Always too [A]tall,
always [D]walked around [G]wearing a
[Bm]smile that was [A]never quite
[G]sure of it[D]self.
[Bm]Planning a [A]future
of [D]failures in[G]flicted
in [Bm]phone calls from [A]strip clubs
and [G]bail bonds. [D]
There's a [Bm]light left [A]on. [D] [G]
There's a [Bm]pace to [A]our di[G]rection. [D]
There's a [Bm]movie-[A]still [D] [G]
of a [Bm]heart I'd [A]like to [G]mention. [D]
Don't [Bm]give me that [A]look,
I looked [D]harder than [G]most did,
let [Bm]details like [A]sharp nails
punch [G]holes in my [D]shoes.
[Bm]Soft-traced to [A]frown
as I [D]put the re[G]ceiver down.
[Bm]Where do I [A]go
for a [G]pardon? [D]
There's a [Bm]light left [A]on. [D] [G]
There's a [Bm]pace to [A]our di[G]rection. [D]
There's a [Bm]movie-[A]still [D] [G]
of a [Bm]heart I'd [A]like to [G]mention. [D]
We're [Bm]listing what's [A]left:
a [D]signed Slayer [G]t-shirt,
a [Bm]car up on [A]blocks in his
[G]mother's back [D]yard.
