Intro: C Am

Verse:
C              Am
Blessed be the mark like cain
     C             Am
That knits my open skin
C                 Am
Mend my cloth with thread so tight
     C                 Am
Then play it like a violin
C              Am
I was promised pain with breath
    C               Am
And pain has been delivered
C               Am
Kill me now then I fell down
   C                    C
On hands and knees that quivered

Chorus:
        Bm7
Tell me how
                   Am
I'm lucky it's not worse
                 C
You're lucky I'm not

Verse:
C          Am
12 in only socks and shoes
   C                     Am
Do you think you'll have kids
C                     Am
You should know they'd be like you
C          Am
If you ever did
C                  Am
Pray to hands that study
               C             Am
Trust strange fingers with a knife
C                Am
Trust someone who likes holding
  C              Am
A grip on death and life

Chorus:
        Bm7
Tell me how
                      Am
Please tell me how it ends
                       C
Please tell me there's an
        Bm7
Tell me how
                  Am
I'm lucky it's not worse
                    Bm7
You're lucky I'm not
                      Am
Please tell me how it ends
                       Bm7
Please tell me there's an
                       Am
Please tell me there's an
                       (nc)
Please tell me there's an end
