45 Acoustic Chords

[Verse 1]
 
Em     D/F#     G
Send away for a priceless gift
Csus2           Gm7/C
One not subtle, One not on the list.
Em     D/F#     G
Send away for a perfect world
Csus2         Gm7/C
One not simply so absurd.
Em      D/F#      G
In these times of doing what you're told
Csus2              Gm7/C
Keep these feelings, no one knows.
Am                       Em
Whatever happened to the young man's heart.
Am                       G      D   Em
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                                   D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
C                             D
Swimming through the ashes of another life.
Em                               D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C                            Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45.

[Verse 2]
 
Em     D/F#     G
Send a message to the unborn child
Csus2           Gm7/C
Keep your eyes open for a while
Em     D/F#     G
In a box high up on the shelf
Csus2         Gm7/C
Left for you no one else
Em      D/F#      G
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Csus2              Gm7/C
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight
Am                       Em
Whatever happened to the young man's heart.
Am                       G      D   Em
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                                   D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
C                             D
Swimming through the ashes of another life.
Em                               D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C                            Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
           Bm                    C
Everyone's pointing their fingers
       Bm            C
Always condemning me
 Bm
Nobody knows what
  Em   D/F#    G
I believe
  Csus2    Gm7/C
I believe
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                                   D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45

Swimming through the ashes of another life.
Em                               D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C                            Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                                   D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
C                             D
Swimming through the ashes of another life.
Em                               D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C                            Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45.
