Ebmaj7  -   Fm9
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Cm9                      Fm9
He told me sweet lies of sweet loves
Cm9                          Fm9
Heavy with the burden of the truth
Cm9                       Fm9
And he spoke of his dreams
                    Ebmaj7
Broken by the burden
              Fm9
Broken by the burden of his youth

Cm9 - Fm9   x2
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
          Cm9
"Fourteen years," he said
            Fm9
"I couldn't look into the sun
Cm9                       Fm9
She saw him laying at the end of my gun"
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           Ebm9
Hungry for life
    Gm7                     Ebm9    Fm7/Bb
And thirsty for the distant river
               Ebm9
I remember his hands
                Gm7
And the way the mountains looked
    Ebm9                         Fm7/Bb
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
           Ebm9
Hungry for life
    Gm7                     Ebm9   Fm7/Bb
And thirsty for the distant river
 
 
[Break/Solo 3]
 
Cm9 - Fm9   x6
 
 
[Outro]
 
                 Ebm9
Like the scar of age
            Gm7
Written all over my face
    Ebm9                  Fm7/Bb
The war is still raging inside of me
                 Ebm9
I still feel the chill
               Gm7
As I reveal my shame to you
  Ebm9                Fm7/Bb
I wear it like a tattoo
  Ebm9                Fm7/Bb
I wear it like a tattoo
  Ebm9                Fm7/Bb
I wear it like a tattoo
