PUP - Scorpion Hill (Audio) Chords

Up on _ [Ab] Scorpion Hill [Eb] watching life
_ _ _ Passing me by in the [Ab] pale [Bb] light
_ [Eb] And I sat there forever, [Ab] three sheets [Cm] to the wind _
It's [Bb] not helping my case, the state that I'm in, [Ab] but
_ It's not how [Eb] they told you my _ _ intentions were good
It's just bursting apart like [Eb] the end of the arc
[Cm] Folding on to whatever [Fm] I could
Slide _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ [Bb] room, blend through the empty [Ab] room
Across the stained yellow [Eb] carpet
Like a ghost of [Bb] myself in the [Ab] afternoon
Haunting [B] my basement apartment
[Bb] I [B] looked in through the [Cm] mirror
Hanging behind [Ab] my [Bb] door
Blocked [B] with crack and the man staring back
He don't [Ab] look like me anymore
That [Bb] infant world is gonna burn
[B] Everyone should get [Eb] a turn to light it up _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Ab] Down and out, I've been on the [Eb] rocks
I've _ been having some pretty [Fm] dark thoughts
My life's [Bb] not a lot _
[Bm] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] Time and time again, well I've tried [Ab] and failed
To get my act [Eb] together
Yet I always feel [Bb] lately things really [Ab] went off the rails
I know [B] that you deserve [Bb] better
Bed in the [B] morning, about [Cm] morning
The [Ab] commuter train come to work
[Bb] Boss is calling, [Bm] he said, there's been cutbacks
And [Ab] I'm sorry you're in the first
[Bb] And if I can't support the two of us
[B] How can I support a third?
_ [Eb] Down and out, I've been on the rocks
_ I've been [G] having some [Ab] pretty [Fm] dark thoughts
Out on [Bb] the break, falling deep in a [Eb] debt
Falling deep [Ab] in a dream
I can drown [Fm] those regrets
I don't have [Bb] to quit
_ _ [Ab] _ _ Now I'm working [Eb] the night shift _ _ _
Asleep [Eb] at the wheel
_ _ _ [Ab] _
Bursting apart, [Eb] _ I'm a spark
Thinking [Cm] Jesus, this can't [Fm] be for real _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] My [Eb] quinto mattress
[Ab] _ Corner [Eb] of the [Ab] room
Cigarettes and [F] nocturnes in [Cm] the fading [Fm] afternoon
[Ab] And a picture of my kid, gang violent in the first day of school
[C] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ She [Fm] said
I [Bb] found the guy, he was [Eb] made to leave
While I [Ab] was calmed in the room where your son sleeps
[Fm]
And I can't [Bb] pretend to [B] know how this will [Eb] end _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
