Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on it's sword

Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know

I slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door

where to begin

there's something broken about this
C              Em     C        Em
but I might be open about this
C             G    C G  C
oh what a sin
 
 
[Bridge 2]
Em             D                C            C
To the strand a picnic plan for you and me
Em             D                C
a rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree

I actually love this version because I don't have to think so much about the chord changes and timing. It just seems to come more natural this way. Thanks for making my life a little easier.
