Ouroboros

Ab
I bet you thought that you'd succeed
Abm
Pulling the wool right over me
          Gm
Hard to believe this snake stayed in the grass
                                              A
just long enough to catch your Rabbit's feet
          Ab
With telescoping glances
Hands romanced enticing you to keep
Abm
Laboring against the clock in spite of secrecy
                Gm
You couldn't know revealed itself
                                        A
To me the second you decided to compete

[Chorus]
Gm                           F
I fell down then I fell apart
                    Cm
"I never wanted to hurt no one.
                  Gm                F
I never wanted to be your city's son"
Gm                               F
I cried out to his crooked heart
                   Cm                           Gm
"I Never wanted to hurt no one. No one but you"

[Verse]
Continues after the ad
Ab
I bet you thought that you could breathe
Abm
A satisfied sigh of relief
           Gm
A terrible thing, forgetting where you came from
                                     A
Or have you trouble when you fall asleep
              Ab
I’ve seen you fabricate, manipulate and here, you masquerade
Abm
But if we're poaching ghosts, you know I’ve got a few that I would raise
               Gm
Settle yourself
As long as I’m protected
                                    A
You can bet your secret's safe with me

[Chorus]
Gm                           F
I fell down then I fell apart
                    Cm
"I never wanted to hurt no one.
                  Gm                F
I never wanted to be your city's son"
Gm                               F
I cried out to his crooked heart
                   Cm                           Gm
"I Never wanted to hurt no one. No one but you"

[Cpart]
Gm
Lost my soul
                             Cm
In the place of the great deceiver
A       Am         Gm      F     Eb     D
Foolish hearts led foolish plans Awry
             Gm
They told me don't veer far from your home
             Cm
Try never to leave her
A7     Am      Gm        F        Eb
Near I Landed; here I’ll live and die
              Ab           D       Gm
Travelled too far from the river's side
Cm                                     Gm
It wasn't long before I felt nothing below me
Cm
And all of the ground I thought I’d gained
          Gm
Taken away
Cm
Thought I was strong; not strong enough;
                 Gm
My mettle was bending
A       Am           Gm      F          Eb
Foolish plans kissed Foolish hearts goodbye
              Ab           D         Gm
Travelled too far from the river's side
