Salt On The Wound

E - B7 - A - B

Chorus:
E - B - A - E - B7

E
I want to disappear
B7
Far from the folks I know
A
I want to get an answer
B
To why I was even born
E
No one here can tell me
B7
What's been haunting me all my life
A
Well this rat race has left me limping
B
Cause I balanced on the edge of the knife

E
Why am I here?
      B
Oh what should I do?
         A                           E                B7
Well is this the point I'm trying to prove?

E
If there's a god in my head
B7
Then there's a devil too
A
How can I tell the difference
B
When they both claim to be true
E
Maybe God is God
B7
Maybe the Devil is me
A
Well I just throw my chains on
B
And tell myself that I'm free

E                           B
Chains.  Are they really there?
                     A
Is this just in my head ?
                        E            B7
Well I'll just stay in bed

E
Life sure has its meaning
B7
Over years I have postured the sun
A
Thieves and preachers robbed me
B
For many hat that I've hung
E
Now with my heart wide open
B7
I listen to the wind just for a word
A
Sure, I know it's futile
B
But that's all I have in this world

     E
To look down from the hill
      B
And howl at the moon
          A                              E         B7
All the tears I cried never salted any wounds
           E                      B
Well the earth is so tender and cruel
           A                               E          B7
Well if you're not there it's still so beautiful
