Jackie Boy

             D#m                        F#
Oh, if these walls could talk, I would talk right back
B                                      B
 I would talk, I would talk 'til they fade to black
          D#m                        F#
The Jack Daniels don't soothe me no more
B                            B
Oh Jackie Boy, Jackie Boy, show me the door
         D#m                            F#
Show me peace, show me grief, show me what it means
 B                               B
To live a life so sunk it's not worthy to breathe
        D#m                      F#
It's too early to see, it's too late to retreat
 B                           B
So the ship sails on to its perfect defeat
        D#m                            F#
And I try to stay aboard, but when it rains, it pours
B                                         B
 I drink a bottle of the captains 'til I wash up on shore
               D#m                      F#
Don't tell me how to live this life, I live this hell
   B                                    B                     D#m
I doubt the devil had an army until the angels fell, now wake up


[Hook 1]
               F# B           B
I’ll seek you out, flay you alive
D#m        F#                    B   B
 One more word and you won’t survive
    D#m       F#   B                    B
And I’m not scared of your stolen power
D#m             F#            B  B
 I see right through you any hour

[Verse 2]
D#m                           F#                 B
 In such a place you either breathe or you suffocate
                              B
It's such a waste, don't you see what you've done to me, got
 D#m                        F#
Holes in my heart like the holes in my liver
     B                             B
It seems the less she take is the more I give her
   D#m                   F#
So, never the winner, for-ever the stranger
 B                         B
You hate me for what I was, forget the good I do
D#m                       F#
 A strange place where I keep my feelings
 B                        B
Call it Fort Knox with a see through ceiling
D#m                           F#                      B
 Cause where I stand I don't see the path, I see the past
                          B
I see the problems that await but I don't seem to act
D#m                          F#
 So nothing's learned, no triumphant return
         B                        B
I never put out the fire, I just watch it all burn, thinking


[Hook 2]
D#m F# B B D#m           F#          B   B
I...        Felling any foe with my gaze
D#m F# B B D#m         F#            B   B
I...        Steadily emerging with grace


[Verse 3]
D#m                       F#                       B
 It's time to say goodbye, there ain't no more hellos
                     B
I set it all on fire, that's how the story goes
D#m                     F#               B
 Turn the page, let it fade, watch it decay
                       B
See the flame, let it rain, watch it be tamed
D#m                     F#
 I see the bandage, I know that you know you damaged
    B                                B
I pray that you feel what I feel and only hope that you panic
     D#m                           F#
The message is in the bottle, the current will help deliver
      B                            B
There is no return to sender, like everything that I give her
       D#m                          F#
I can fill the flask up, but can't get past us
             B                               B
I'm in the storm, stayin' strong, but can't get back up
           D#m                            F#
A sudden change, the wind, will spin his game we're in
                B                               B
But when there's nothing to hold, you'd rather sink then swim, sing it


[Hook 3]
D#m      F#          B             B
Eyes on fire, your spine is ablaze
D#m           F#          B   B
 Felling any foe with my gaze
     D#m     F#  B                  B
And just in time, in the right place
D#m         F#            B    B D#m
 Steadily emerging with grace / I...
