Chords for Johnny Cash's eldest grandchild Thomas Gabriel shares his song 'Cell' (Live Acoustic)

_ Most of my _ songs have a backstory.
_ _ The backstory to Cell is really,
_ _ _ it was written in a cell,
and I never thought anybody else would ever hear it.
It was written for myself.
_ _ This is Cell. _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ I came in alone,
[Em] _ _ _ _ _
and that's how I leave.
_ _ [E] _ _
I've lost a lot of blood,
[B] but there's enough still left to bleed.
_ _ _ [E] _ _
[Em] A tentative angel
_ is why my wings are sinned.
_ _ _ And I don't need forgiveness now,
[B] and I don't want to be [Em] avenged.
_ _ [G] _ _
I twist and I turn,
[Em] and beat my head [D] against [G] the wall.
_ _ [B] _ _
I don't need anything [E] at all. _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [C] _ _
Shadows and dust
_ [B] and good boy pills,
_ _ _ [Em] and it keeps me in line long enough
so I don't feel.
_ _ _ [C] I stare at the window,
_ _ _ watch the fear grow tall.
_ _ [Em] And I can easily break my mind,
but I cannot break my fall.
_ _ _ [B] I twist and I turn,
and beat my head [D] against the [G]
wall.
_ _ _ [B] _ I don't need anything [Em] at all.
_ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [C] I [G] cover the window,
because I'm afraid for the sun to see.
A heart that's [A] bitter
_ is _ _ _ still [G] a heart [Em] that _ bleeds.
[B] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ My ghosts are alive,
_ _ [B] but they don't talk to me.
_ _ _ [Em] And it leads me to think
that maybe they finally set me free.
_ _ _ [C] _ I laugh in this dark silence,
because I'm [D] sure the joke's [G] on them.
_ _ _ [B] _ How can they live without [Em] my sin?
[B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ [G] I cover the window,
_ because I'm [G] afraid for the sun to see.
A heart that's [A] bitter
_ [Em] is _ _ [G] still a heart [E] that bleeds. _
