Chord/Tab song: The President

Intro: C Am G F C x2

I've [C]run to ground
I've [Am]run from every[G]one that I have [F]ever known[C]
I'm [C]aching cold
I'm [Am]aching from the [G]bones the very [F]blood of me[C]

And it's [Am]broke before you know it, before you [G]knew what it was for
All you [F]know is you can't fix it, and you [C]wish you'd listened more
To your [Am]instincts, to your family, to the [G]wisdom you'd ignored
Are you [F]finally gonna ask us for [C]help? [G]

I've [C]crashed to earth
But I'd [Am]fallen for so [G]long that it was [F]just relie[C]f
I [C]saw your face
In [Am]everyone that [G]looked me in my [F]drunken eyes[C]

And it's [Am]broke before you know it, before you [G]knew what it was for
All you [F]know is you can't fix it, and you [C]wish you'd listened more
To your [Am]instincts, to your family, to the [G]wisdom you'd ignored
When you [F]finally gonna ask us for [C]help? [G]

I can [Am]see you at the front gate, as you [G]wait on my return
The [F]years have blurred to eons, but the [C]tears have never dried
But I'm not [Am]coming to you like this, so [G]battered down and sad
I will [F]take the road forgotten [C]again.
