Abandoned Sons

Ab          Fm              Cm     C7
Turn off the light leave it alone
                 Db    Bbm        Ab    Fm
It’s gonna die before it is born
            Ab              Fm        Cm     C7
Leave it to cry, let it get by on its own
            Db    Bbm        Ab    Fm
You set it alight so your fight is done

[Chorus]
    Db                      Ab   Cm/G   Fm  Db
I didn’t know you could blow the life out of something
    Ab  Cm/G    Fm    Db Eb
That you set the spark in

[Verse]
Ab       Fm                Cm  C7
Pity the string under your bow

          Db    Bbm        Ab    Fm
sawing so hard that it starts to glow
      Ab                     Fm           Cm  C7
Put it away, get on with your day and your night
                Db    Bbm        Ab    Fm
Strain and the prey evades your sight

[Chorus]
        Db                      Ab   Cm/G   Fm  Db
Cos I didn’t know you could blow the life out of something
    Ab  Cm/G    Fm    Db Eb
That you set the spark in

[Bridge]
Ab               Eb  Db       Ab  Eb     Db
And that’s the advice          that he gave me twice
        Fm     Eb  Db          Fm     Db Eb
At least that’s the excuse that I always use

[Verse]
Ab          Fm              Cm     C7
 So put it away, leave it alone
                  Db    Bbm        Ab    Fm
 Pick over the pain and it’ll never be gone
Ab          Fm            Cm    C
 stand on your feet so you show you’re a man
          Db             Bbm         Ab   Fm
 Try to pretend that he’s done all he can

[Chorus]
    Db                      Ab   Cm/G   Fm  Db
I didn’t know you could blow the life out of something
    Ab  Cm/G    Fm    Db Eb
That you set the spark in
