Cardinal In Red Bed

Am

G                              Am           G
   The bomb fell but didn’t ignite in your eyes
           F                                     C
And your scars are safe from sight below shirt sleeves tonight
F                         G          Am        C
   You said if you never heard your name again
               F               C
It would be alright. What goes on in your mind?
G      F     C
   My,   my,
G                   F      C
   You're such a beautiful   lie


G                                     Am         G
   This whole damn place has lost its charm, mmm
       F                             C
The locals are long gone below the bridge each night
F                 G         Am                   C
   You walk head-down on streets once overlooked
           F                             C
Man, they sure look nice now if you can pay the price now
G      F     C
   My,   my,
G                   F      C
   You're such a beautiful   lie
G      F     C
   My,   my,
G                   F      C
   You're such a beautiful   lie


           Dm
You could sink into the river
      Am                  Amadd9
Float East out to the sea
 C
Settle in the ocean
         G
Big and far as eyes can see
         Dm
Or hold council in the alley
     Am                   Amadd9
Bare feet on hot concrete
       C
Just drink yourself to death here
            G                        Am
'Cause you never planned on leaving


G                          Am             G
   Sun fails you at first light when you rise
          F                                           C
And you drink till the shaking stops, drink till you feel alright
F                         G      Am        C
   You said you’ll never be the same again
              F                     C
But at least you try now. What goes on in your mind now?
G      F     C
   My,   my,
G                   F      C
   You're such a beautiful   lie
G      F     C
   My,   my,
G                   F      C
   You're such a beautiful   lie
