[Verse 1]
Bm E A Bm
My words don't know the truth they flutter as I speak
Bm E A Bm
The sickness I feel under my belt is the disdain I have for me
E A A Bm
I've asked you to stand tall but it's me who's fallen down
Bm E A Bm
A better man I'd like to be but I can't find my way home now
[Chorus]
E A A Bm
So what kind of man am I who never looked up to see the sky
E A A Bm
And every word I say has come back to haunt me every day
Bm E A Bm
So here I stand alone crippled on my cane
Bm E A Bm
The coward I've become the loser in the game
[Intro] 1x
[Verse 2]
Bm E A Bm
These eyes you see are masked by a thin veneer of tears
Bm E A Bm
And who would have known that such a small task would have compromised all these years
E A A Bm
'Cause a liar's guilt is a liar's fate and man, that's just the facts
Bm E A Bm
For those too weak to tell the truth into darkness you'll be cast
[Chorus]
E A A Bm
So what kind of man am I who never looked up to see the sky
E A A Bm
And every word I say has come back to haunt me every day
Bm E A Bm
So here I stand alone crippled on my cane
Bm E A Bm
The coward I've become the loser in the game
[Verse 3]
Bm E A Bm
So dig deep, you little bastard let the truth be known
Bm E A Bm
Angels are flying with you tonight you'd better not let them go
E A A Bm
'Cause if you do I'd hate to think of what your fate could be
Bm E A Bm
Speak your mind, tell what you know and set your soul free
[Chorus]
E A A Bm
So what kind of man am I who never looked up to see the sky
E A A Bm
And every word I say has come back to haunt me every day
Bm E A Bm
So here I stand alone crippled on my cane
Bm E A Bm
The coward I've become the loser in the game
