[C]
Life we steal was part,
[Dm] then what came and made us free?
[E] [G] What price now
[Eb] for a [D] shallow piece of [C] dignity?
I wish I had a bottle
[Dm] right here in my dead place.
[G] You wear the scars
[Eb] to show [D] from [Gm] where [C] I came.
[Dm] We don't [G] talk about,
[Dm] we only [G] want to get
[E] free [A] and not [Am] to [Em] spend.
[F] I pray I hold that, I take the [Am] chance.
A dear [F] sign for life.
[Am] [Em] [F] I

wish I had a bottle [Dm] right here in my pretty place.
[G] You wear the scars to [Eb]
show [D] from where [C] I came.
[Dm] We don't [G] talk about, [D] we only [G] want to get free.
[E] And when [A] you're [F] not, we are told that best safety [C] first.
[Am] A dear [A] sign [F] for life.
