American Darkness

 
          Am   Gm  D 
When you come dead last 
    Am       Gm  D 
In battles long past 
Am           Gm          D 
Intended to rip my heart out 
Am     Gm          D 
Oracle of your secrets 
Am             Gm       D 
Your eye was trained on me 
       Am            Gm         D 
As I stood before you, unbuttoning 
 Am            Gm    D 
Kiss me as the bell tolls 
   Am    Gm             D 
Swiftly, as the horses ride

Am              Gm          D 
Damn my dreams, the tormentors 
Am               Gm              D 
Last night your mouth was on my skin 
Am                        Gm                D 
And the poppies were like fire on the mountain 
Am          Gm                D 
I took your hand and led you home 
Am               Gm                   D 
All my old ways have started kickin' in 
Am             Gm                   D 
And my bad days are comin' round again 
Am              Gm          D 
Left here in American darkness 
Am        Gm                D 
River on fire and sun eclipsed

              F   D C 
'Cause I'm comin'

'Cause I'm comin'

'Cause I'm comin' 
              F   D C 
'Cause I'm comin'

When you come back to me
