Intro 1
(D major) (Dsus4) (D minor) (D major)
Verse 1
(D major) Take,
take a look at the sky (Dsus4)
Some (D minor) times your heaven
seems to (D major) far away
Take, take a look under (Dsus4) here (C major)
(Dsus4) Where (D minor) deprivation turns into decay
(D major) I've stood under this rain,
felt it seep (Dsus4) into my brain (C major)
(Dsus4) I've shut (D minor) my eyes and
crawled around this mud (D major)
I'm scared of growin' old,
I shiver (Dsus4) when I'm cold
(D minor) Don't you think I bleed
the same (D major) blood? (D minor)
