Hi, I'm Johnny Craig and this is Eric from Hail the Sun and we are going to play a song
called Children of Divorce. _
I wrote this song, it was on my first solo album.
I wrote it way, way, way back when I was dating a girl and _ she actually got pregnant _ and _ we
dated for a couple months after that _ _ and I just decided that it wasn't fair to her because
I didn't _ love her the way she loved me.
_ _ I didn't care about the baby but it was just _ _ _ _ _ a relationship.
So that's kind of what the song is about.
She disappeared, she took the baby and [G] disappeared. _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ Back to these cold shitty _ days, _
[G] anymore than _ _ wishing I'd never come across [Em] your _ face.
_ Plagued by [C] the memories of things _
[G] _ unspoken.
_ _ _ Scared by thoughts of your _ [Em] _
father.
_ _ Made me look _ over the flaws of [G] your nature.
_ _ _ Laying on your back became your only _ [Em]
escape.
_ You feel so old, you but not [G] yet _ broken.
_ _ Enough to think you have it all [C] together. _
_ _ I never _ [D] planned to carry [C] your burdens.
_ _ But this [D] child _ _ was [G] a _ mistake. _
I knew from [A] the _ moment I stepped out [Am] that black _ eye.
And we had _ _ no _ [G] future. _ _
_ How come [A] your dreams aren't always _ [Am] so bitter?
_ _ _ You know _ and maybe [G] one _ _ day _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ she will know. _
And I _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ never [A] _ thought _ _ she [Am] would know. _
_ _ She [C] will know _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
and you still [C] return to the _ same _ [G] _ _ disguise.
_ _ _ That _ leave and you when [Em] broken. _ _
_ _ She _ [D] talks _ with even [G] cheaper _ company.
_ _ _ Keeps the _ days _ turning into [Em] _ nights.
_ _ _ You [C] _ lie in the [G] _ hallway _ _ _ _ _ _ crying. _ _
_ _ Cause [Em] your child _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ carries my [G] _ _ _ _ name.
_ _ Well I regret _ ever making you a part [C] of my life.
_ _ Sadly it [G] ain't enough. _
This song's not to hurt you. _
It's just to show the world. _
That [G] I'm free. _
I knew from the [A] _ moment I stepped out [Am] that black eye.
_ _ And we had _ _ no _ [G] future. _ _ _
How come your [A] dreams aren't _ always [Am] so bitter? _
_ _ _ You know _ and maybe [G] one _ _ _ day _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ she _ _ _ _ will know. _
And I [G] _ _ never _
_ _ _ _ [A] thought _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
she would [C] know. _ _
[Bm] She _ [Em] will know. _ _
