Ten Ton Shoes

(início)

Intro: C Am  2X arpeggio pick up the two chords

C
Living in fear because the world is cold
     Am
And hope might be coming but you never know.
          C
There are dead end streets around every turn.
      Am                                         C(strum once)
And a road map too beaten up, torn, and burnt to read.

C
Dead weight carried on for miles and miles.
    Am
And someone's telling jokes but you never smile,
       C                                 Am
As the rows of tombstone houses pass you by.
    C
And I say, you say, we say change.
    Am
But we all know just what they say.
    C                                         Am
The more things change the more they stay the same.
                   C(strum once)
They just stay the same.

This time it's eating me alive.(strum between C and Am a couple times)
start strumming the C and Am for this verse
       C
It's a long cold winter in the dead of night.
        Am
And the candidates are saying they can make it right.
    C                                   Am
And we'll buy almost anything that they sell.
C
Drop dead headlights coming down the road.
          Am
And we're frozen blind
Believing in a heart of gold that will
C                                   Am
Swoop right in and save us from our sins.
                 C(strum once)
Save us from our sins.

This time it's eating me alive. switch between C and Am a couple times
     F                         Em          Am
I'm a bug on it's back kicking legs in the air
     F                     Em
On a sidewalk in a city somewhere
  Am          F                  Em        G
Seconds from thundering steps and ten ton shoes.
      C                         Am
I'm a bug on it's back kicking legs in the air
     C                     Am
On a sidewalk in a city somewhere
  Am          C                 Am
Seconds from thundering steps and ten ton shoes.
Switch between C and Am
This time it's eating me alive.
end on C
