A Beast

[Primera Parte]

E                     B
I do not speak of the ache in my 
shoulders
F#m                     A
They bear the burdens I willingly 
paid for
E                           B
You have your own they live deep in 
the folds of your
F#m               A
Cynical mind like mice

E                       B
I have been bit by them two times 

I|or thrice 

        F#m                    A
And the skin on my hand became tough
 to the touch
E                          B     
Now they sleep deeply, you oil 
               F#m  A
the crease in my palm
    E                        
And in all my dreams I'm more 
 B
careful than kind
        F#m                   
Keep my two hands clean and my 
 A
tongue all nice and I
E                        B
Dare you and dare you to fool me 
twice
    F#m                 A
I'd pay any price to be right

       G#m                         
'Cause you didn't speak until it 
           A7M
got real bad
G#m
You didn't speak then you broke what
 you had

Let time run it's course

  E             B           
I never could forget but I'll 
     F#m         A
forgive like a dog
E               B                
Somewhere in my bones these 
       F#m                 A
wounds they make their home but I'm 
glad you're home
  E           B     F#m         
I wait by the door, licking the 
A
floor
E              B            F#m 
How long can a man ignore a 
               A
beast and her sores?

E                      B
I knew a girl who made bare of the 
world
           F#m                 
'Cause the light that she wears 
            A
takes more eyes than is fair
E                         B      
She holds the weight of a heart 
                        F#m  A
that yearns foremost to love

    E                       B
And I saw her love and read her 
lover's love
           F#m                     
She burned red, I turned green did 
  A
I know anything?
         E                         
But when push came to shove, love 
  B                      F#m     A
it wasn't enough, we know nothing

       G#m                         
'Cause he didn't speak until it got
       A7M
 real bad
G#m
He didn't speak, are we to go mad?
A
Must time run it's course?
