Verse:
B A
To lessen my troubles
Abmin
I stopped hanging out with vultures
A
And empty saviours like you
B A Abmin
I wish I had a nickel for every miracle
F#
That you easily tricked me into
Chorus:
E Eb Db B
You can lead a horse to water
Abmin E E Eb Db B
But fate is another matter
B Abmin
So don’t you surrender
E
Cause sometimes salvation
F# E Eb Db
In the eye of the storm
F# E Eb Db B
Sister do you want to try and find me
I’ve no time for accusations
Or conversations
On all the bad, bad things that you do
Just a note from the jailer
Drugs and the relation
To all the people around you
Chorus
Solo
B A
I’ve kept secret your superstitions
Abmin
And all its twisted wisdom
F#
That I fell into
Chorus
Sister do you even want to try and find me?
