My name is Benjamin Todd.
here on my new land in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.
Dawn.
It's kind of about that solitude that we all feel, or hopefully some of us feel,
the end of a long day where you think about all your hopes and dreams and [C] your failures and misfortunes.
It kind of encapsulates my purgatory.
I've been trapped inside this song for a couple of weeks now.
tonight of my entire life [Am] as a whole
here on my new land in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.
Dawn.
It's kind of about that solitude that we all feel, or hopefully some of us feel,
the end of a long day where you think about all your hopes and dreams and [C] your failures and misfortunes.
It kind of encapsulates my purgatory.

It kind of _ _ encapsulates my purgatory. _ _ _
_ I've been trapped inside this song for a couple of weeks now.
_ I'm thinking tonight of my entire life [Am] as a whole _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] Oh, [F] and what it might mean if I ever get back [G] in [C]
control _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Alone and forsaken by everyone _ I've [Am] ever known _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] Hell, [F] I even _ abandoned myself some _ [G] [C] years ago
And _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am]
I'm _ _ _ [G] hardly _ _ _ _ [C] holding on _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] [Am] In the _ _ _ dark [G]
before _ _ _ [C] the dawn
_ Oh, _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ [G] _ [C]
I'm living clean Oh, I'm getting _ redeemed on [Am] this land
But _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] it ain't what you think It's the toil of a [C] much braver man _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Lately I weep at the strangest [D] things we _ [Am] _
understand _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] Oh, [F]
like every new line that's defined [Am] on the back of [C] my hand _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] And I'm _ _ _ [G] hardly _ _ _ holding [C] _
on _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] In [Am] the _ _ _ dark [G]
before _ _ _ the [C] dawn _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Don't call it religion when I seek _ salvation [Am] _
inside _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] [F] Oh, it's just _ surrendering all of yourself [D] to [C] this life _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And man, it gets lonely _ seeing the spite [D] in [Am] their eyes _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] Before they walk away being _ blinded by [C] any old light _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] And [Am] I'm _ _ _ [G] hardly _ _ _ _ _ [C] holding on _ _ _ _
_ _ _ In [Am] the _ _ _ [D] dark [G] before _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] [C] the dawn _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I'm thinking _ tonight of my _ entire life [Am] as a whole _ _ _ _ _
