The Torch

	  		 
INTRO:  
D, Dsus, Asus, D (repeat)  
 
VERSE:  
D D Em G D Dsus  
Wash away... All the lines on your face that show how you've aged.  
D D Em G D Dsus  
It's a long way down... Your back's been broken you can't make the rounds.  
D G G Em  
The tables are turned as the litany goes...  
G D Dsus  
You're a rotten old man who'll be covered in dirt.  
D D Em G D Dsus  
On your knees..... and pray to the maker that caused you to bleed.  
 
CHORUS 
D G  
Turn back the hands on the clock  
D A  
You're a bitter old man who's done nothing but work.  
D G  
Your hands to the bone on the assembly lines  
D A  
You've grown cold to the touch of the ones that you love  
D G  
Ignorance is something you can't overcome  
D A  
but you've past it on down and that's something much worse  
G G Em G D Dsus  
For a bitter young man... is now taking the torch  
G G Em G   
For a bitter young man... is now taking the torch  
 
BRIDGE:  
D, Asus, Dsus, D (repeat) 
 
VERSE 2:  
Silent scorn… You've taken it out on the ones you adore. 
Inside rage… They've left you before but they'll come back again. 
They'll pray for you with all their love… 
But this time your indifference just can't be excused.  
Forced amends… Well it's something you'll die with but it goes on for them.
