21st Century Song
G-C- D (around and around with lick)
Beleaguered and tired I fell far behind in a marathon race to the truth
Turning around for the very last time as my feet lose their grip of the roof.
Seeing it clearly play right at my eyes in a line from the A to the end
All the way back to the first apple bite at a rate that outpaces the pen.
I wasn’t working and stomachs were churning as she held a grip to her grace
Tossing and turning all sleepless and hurting as plain as the lips on her face
Dodging and weaving I fell into thieving enough to keep creditors gone
A tragic and gory Dickensian story in a 21st century song
Bridge
Em D C B7 Em D
Is simple raw energy accompanied by poverty enough to bring the tension to
C B7
amends?
Em D C B7
Cause when our karmic frailties are judged before inequity,
Em D C Daug
then how can my recovery begin?
Verse
When it’s all over they pay off the closer and the key’s locked away in a drawer
It goes unspoken the family’s broken we still have to go to the store.
It can be shocking when lawyers come knocking and threats can turn quickly to chains
She left discreetly but not so completely avoiding the legal embrace
Beleaguered and tired I fell far behind in a marathon race to the truth
Turning around for the very last time as my feet lose their grip of the roof.
Pride and illusion has caused the intrusion, but she knew it would all along
A tragic and gory Dickensian story in a 21st century song.
