The Cop

C

C
Some men do it 'cause it pays the bills,
C
Others want to save the world.
Am                 F     C
Me myself, I never was a hero though.
C
Joined the force like my daddy did.
C
Figured I'd marry young,
        Am                       F      C
But the things I've seen made me take a different road.

G                       F                    C
'Til you've been in the dark you might never feel it.
G                       F                           Am  G  F
'Til you've been in the dark you might think you're guaranteed
         Am   G   F             C
But your life can leave, with a spark.

    C          G      F      Am  F         C
The rain falls on the blessed ones and the damned.

C
Met my girl about a year ago,
C
Knew that I'd found a home,
Am                     F      C
Laughed so much I felt like a kid again
C
Since that day it's hard to do the job,
C
It's hard to know what I've known,
Am                F      C
So much pain, and so few innocent.

G                       F                    C
'Til you've been in the dark you might never question,
G                       F                           Am  G  F
'Til you've been in the dark you might think you're quarantined,
          Am  G     F
Yeah, but nothing's free
         Am   G   F
And your love can leave,
       C
In the dark.

    F                 C
The rain falls on the blessed ones,
    F                 C
The rain falls on the damned,
    F                 C
And you've changed my mind,
  Am   G   F
I love you more,
       Am   G  F
Than I love myself,
        Am     G  F
And I'm scared to death,
         Am   G  C
That you love me less
