Chords for the Hill Country Devil, "Trophy Scars," // GemsOnVHS™

It's called Trophy Scars.
It's a tune about two _ broken people trying to make it work
and how it's kind of destined for failure,
but there's some excitement to it.
It [Gb] fails in the end in this song?
In my [Cm] personal experience,
_ [Eb] two broken pieces don't make a full one.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ One beating pass [Bb] pushing counterfeits
[Eb] Whiskey stained seats signed the [Ab] bits
[Cm] Spark fluorescent lights [Gm] the true cancer [G] of night
Holding clarity [Bb] like a gun to [Ab] your head
God [G] _
[Eb] damn you
_ _ [Fm] You ought to heed [Eb] what I said
[Bb] Cause _ _ [Eb] honey we're the kids [Bb] that God forgot
[Eb] Dead branches swept [Ab] out in the wake
And our [Cm] torn velvet sky [Eb] may leave us both [Ab] blind
If we look towards the hope [Ab] it displays
_ [Eb]
But I've heard the [Bb] call of the great after all
Though [Eb] I shivered in steady [Ab] drunk sights
[Cm] And the breaths that I [Eb] took, well they'd leave us both shook
I know your [Bb] heart's as crooked as [Ab] mine
_ [C] God damn [F] you, _ _ [Ab] there ain't a [Eb] woman as fine
_ [Bb] _ _ _
[Ab] And believe _ [Eb] me
_ [Bb]
Love, _ _ _ oh [Eb] it's almost [Bb] [Cm] good enough
To [F] hide in the [C] scars that tatter your arms
[Ab] That shine like the [Eb] trophies they are
But [Ab] all stars fade, _ _ [Bb] cloaks fall from pain
_ And to love [Cm] is to hate
To [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Eb] count every [Bb] footprint that leads back to me
Baby [Eb] trace the jigsaw [Ab] of our time
[Bb] And the [Cm] cold that we [C] felt is a nice Cuban hill
To the warmth [Bb] when our pieces [Ab] align
I [Eb] know I fuck up like breathing [Bb] seems each day's a reason
[Eb] To burn every bridge [Ab] that I patched
[Cm] Give me one last leap of faith I swear [Eb] I'll turn our page
[Bb] Fold dog ears and swallow [Ab] the match
_ [C] God [F] damn you, _
_ [Ab] I'm gonna eat what [Eb] I catch
_ [Bb]
And _ _ [Ab] I _ [Eb] _
don't [Bb] know
_ _ _ Honey, what I don't [Cm] know
[Fm] But you're not the [Cm] scars that tatter your arms
[Ab] Shine like the [Eb] trophies they are
But all [Ab] stars fade, _ _ [Bb] cloaks fall from pain
And to [Eb] love is to hate
Oh to love [C] is to hate
[Cm] _ _ And all meaning [Ab] I find _
Was death [Gm] to a man [Bb] blind _ _
[Eb] Not you
_ [Bb] When _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ I was in the loony bin, there was a class that was mandatory
Everybody went to [Abm] the main room and they brought out like very simple child instruments
And we all just [Gb] banged them together and made noise in a circle
You did that?
I learned a lot about mental health that way
You had to be the best player in the circle
I was the mongo player
Yeah?
Did you play it?
Yeah, I played it like I was in Mambo No.
5
Did you have to play along just to like bake it in there?
Well, when I was in a loony bin, I stayed all day in bed because I didn't want to get out _ _
You could have found new band members
Yeah, no kidding
There was quite a few songwriters
It's an occupational hazard
