Key: EE | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed  |  simplified


Verse 1
   E
A Thousand pairs of fiery eyes
  B
Burn like a serpent down the hwy 5
  A                          B                  E
As the Long amber tail to Los Angeles unwinds
     E
I've got resurrection down in side my skin
        B
But for all my revealating
                  A
I just can’t make sense
         B                 E
Of this gravity we're in

Chorus
            C#m
Cause I'm a dead man now with a ghost who lives
            B
Within the confines of these carbon ribs
     A                 B
And one day when I'm free
       C#m
I will sit
     B               E     B
The cripple at your table
                     A      B  E
The cripple by your side

Verse 2
E
A thousand miles of pain I'm sure
B
Led you to the threshold of my hearts screen door
    A                            E
To tell me what it is I'm dying for

Gravity comes like a cold cold rain
    B
To lead me to the rope again
     A          B              E
But someone is standing in my place

Bridge
C#m        B
And I sit beside you
A             B
And I sit beside you
