Jackie Boy

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


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

[Verse 2]
D#m                           F# 
 In such a place you either 
                B
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                           
It seems the less she take is the 
  B
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# 
 Cause where I stand I don't see 
                     B
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                      
I never put out the fire, I just 
  B
watch it all burn, thinking


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


[Verse 3]
D#m                       F#     
 It's time to say goodbye, there 
                  B
ain't no more hellos
                     B
I set it all on fire, that's how the
 story goes
D#m                     F#       
 Turn the page, let it fade, 
        B
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                              
I pray that you feel what I feel 
  B
and only hope that you panic
     D#m                         
The message is in the bottle, the 
  F#
current will help deliver
      B                            
There is no return to sender, like 
B
everything that I give her
       D#m                         
I can fill the flask up, but can't 
 F#
get past us
             B                   
I'm in the storm, stayin' strong, 
            B
but can't get back up
           D#m                     
A sudden change, the wind, will 
       F#
spin his game we're in
                B                
But when there's nothing to hold, 
               B
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               
And just in time, in the right 
   B
place
D#m         F#            B    B D#m
 Steadily emerging with grace / I...
