	        CAPO II 

G C G C 

G                       C          
you were a friend to me when my wheels were off the track 
    Am                              C           D 
and though you say there is no need i intend to pay you back 

G                                  C 
when my mind was turning loose and all my thoughts were turning black 
Am                           C           D 
you shined a light on me and i intend to pay you back 

G                      C 
when i was a child i depended on a bottle 
    Am                            C         D 
and full grown i've been known to lean on a bible 

    G                         C 
but you're the real deal in a world of imposters 
    Am                         C          D 
and i've seen the program make men out of monsters 

(Chorus) 
       C               G 
'cause i still wake up shaken by dreams 
    C                        G 
and i hate to say it but the way it seems 
        C  D      G         C 
is that no one is fine 
         D       G 
take the time to peel a few layers 
    Em 
and you will find 
C  D G 
true sadness 

G                      C 
adam and eve must have really done a number 
        Am              C         D 
on that garden when the apple was finished 

G                     C 
leaving behind them a den made of sadness 
    Am                    C          D 
and damn if that can't or won't be replenished 

(Chorus) 

C               G 
angela became a target 
   D                      G 
as soon as her beauty was seen 
   C                      G 
by young men who try to reduce her down 
     Am                  D 
to a scene on an x-rated screen 
           C                          G 
is she not more than the curve of her hips 
           C                          G 
is she not more than the shine on her lips 
             C                   G                          D 
does she not dream to see and to live and to dance down her own path 
Am            D 
without being torn apart 
                    C 
does she not have a heart 

  G                      C 
i cannot go on with this evil inside me 
  Am                           C          D 
i step out my front door and i feel it surround me 

     G                   C 
just know the kingdom of god is within you 
Am                        C           D 
even though the battle is bound to continue 

(Chorus) 

Em   C 
true sadness 
Em   C 
true sadness 
(C)  D    G 
true true sadness 

(ending) 
G C G C G C G D G
