VERSE
[Ab] You'll be there in the sla[A]ughter
[A#dim7] Freeing me when I'm c[B]ornered
Being ar[C#m]rested by the [Cdim7]mind cops
They're the o[E]nly ones worth ch[F#m6]anging what you [C#m]do for
And I [B]try to be in [A]line

And what it's [Cdim7]good for there's no [C#m]telling
It's bl[B]ood
It's a fl[A]ood

VERSE
[Ab] Living there in a f[A]lower
[A#dim7] You wouldn't have made it wi[B]thout her
Though she seems to [C#m]stay in one place
She g[Cdim7]rows with your life
So c[E]ry for time
What's [F#m6]slow is fast at the [C#m]same time
It [B]comes to [A]life
[F#m6] And if it [E]dies
You'd [Cdim7]never notice cause [C#m]it
It sli[B]des as it cl[A]imbs
CHORUS
[E] I'll k[Abm]now her f[A]ace a [C#m]mile away
[E] I'll k[Abm]now her f[C#m]ace a m[A]ile away
[E] I'll k[Abm]now her f[A]ace a [C#m]mile away
[E] I'll k[Abm]now her f[C#m]ace a m[A]ile away
[E] I'll k[Abm]now my pa[A]ins a [C#m]life away
[E] I'll k[Abm]now my pa[C#m]ins a l[A]ife away
