Chord/Tab song: You as You Were

Capo on 2nd fret

When you [E]fall at the rocks

At the bend at the river
With the [G#m]blood from your nose

Running hard on your fingers
And through [H]the rest of your li[A]fe

[E] [G#m] [H] [A]

The el[E]ectric charge

Of a change in the weather
You were [G#m]touching my arm

You were holding a feather
And then I [H]opened my eyes[A]

As the [C#m]World goes racing, suddenly changed
As the shock of the axe, it leaves you trembling[H]
Like a [C#m]busting shell in the small of your back
Or a job that's hard on the cast of your little lie[H]

And an animal life was surging away

And you were [E]back on the road

Through the worst of the Winter
Through the[G#m] Valley of Lies

Passing through like an arrow

Oh , if your [E]vision collapsed

And a storm from the river
Like a [G#m]golden medalion

Clutching tight in your fingers
But on the [H]slope of the edge
Will you [A]recover your life

You could [E]stand on the back of a shuddering beam
With a pistol firing shots into the [G#m]air
You could [E]run in the blood of the Sun's hard rays
You could drive the mountains down into the [G#m]bay
Or go back to the East where it's all so civ[H]ilized
Where I was [A]born to the life

But I am [E]leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life
I am [G#m]leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life
I am [H]leaving[A][E]
