Stomping Ground chords by vverevvolf
Intro 1
D
Verse 1
D
Cypress trees and recipes
from cooking magazines
Bm
Children with bloody knees,
fathers with companies
D
Palm trees and make -believe
in the houses of our dreams
Bm
We clench our perfect teeth
Bb
Wait for our turn to leave
D
Cuts in the asphalt down
the block
Bm
Teenagers in the parking lots
Bb
And the parents never make
D
them stop
Disappear into cigarette smoke
Every kid's gotta find a
Bm
Bsus4
way to cope
Bm
Bb
A
Until they all lose hope
D
Mothers send their other lives
Bottle up what's real inside
Bm
Bsus4
And the fathers read their books
F#
about Jesus Christ
Bbaug
D
When the children go to bed alone
By the light of a telephone
Em
E
Bb
I wonder if they'll ever know
D
Ooh
I'll take in the group disease
The spreading chestnut tree
Bm
And make our wounds believe
Bb
They'll turn to warm relief
D
Blood cuts and the muscles seize
And we forget how to breathe
Bm
But we all look so at ease
Bb
It's the part of the life we lead
D
Moms and dads living worlds apart
Kids steal in the shopping carts
Bm
And the teachers just tell
Bb
them get real smart
A
D
But we learn when the
bottles broke
Everyone's got our own
Bm
way to cope
Bb
D
Until they all just choke
Mothers send their other lives
But our love was real inside
Bm
Bsus4
And the fathers read their books
B
F#
about Jesus Christ

At the edge of the stomping ground

Oh, you're the descendant
of the lights
Bottled up what's real inside

God hates when the children
don't have a pillow
By the light of a telephone

I wonder if we'll ever know
