Cowards Way

Capo: 3 fret 

Intro 
Dsus2  E 




C#m                   A                   G# 
How many times have I been through this before? 
    C#m                     A               B 
And every time I find an opening I lose the door, 
     C#m                        A                 G# 
I've got to find it one day, my time will have to come, 
      C#m                             A              B 
It'll be so good to feel the wind and see the summer sun. 



  C#m                       A                B 
My body's dying slowly, (so slowly, piece by piece), 
   C#m                            A             G# 
My life has got a hold of me (and it will not release), 
   C#m                          A             B 
If only I could break away (and lay myself to rest), 
  C#m                                    A                G#  C#m  Bbm 
I know that it's the coward's way (but I think that it is best).
