Old Wounds Chords

CAPO: 2nd FRET(Key: A)
 
[Intro]
G   Em D C
G   Em D C
 
 
[Verse]
        G   Em D C
Well I drank my weight in whiskey
    Em   D        C
For way too damn long
         G
And the hardest part of healing
    Em                  D        C
Is knowing that you're doing it wrong
 
          G
And this cross is too hard to carry
          Em         D       C
Does the punishment fit the crime
       G
And I tried to persuade the jury
         Em         D       C
But the judge is inside my mind
 
 
[Chorus]
 Em            D            C
Sometimes the best thing to do
           Em              
Is get to work on time and 
 D             C
push right on through
 
            G            C             G
There's no right way to stitch up old wounds
 
          Em             D       
You just gotta stop the bleeding 
   C             G
before it kills you
              Em             D       
And you just gotta stop the bleeding 
   C
before it kills you
 
 
[Instrumental/Solo]

[Verse]
       G
I was higher than the hill tops
          Em      D       C
Like the ones we used to climb
        G
When I thought I found an answer
       Em  D         C
At the end of a knife
 
            G
And but to live is to suffer
          Em         D       C
It's the scars that give us meaning
               G
And you don't have to duck for cover
   Em        D           C
Or run from what you're feeling
 
 
[Chorus]
        Em            D            C
'Cause sometimes the best thing to do
           Em              
Is get to work on time and 
 D             C
push right on through
 
            G            C             G
There's no right way to stitch up old wounds
 
          Em             D       
You just gotta stop the bleeding 
   C             G
before it kills you
              Em             D       
And you just gotta stop the bleeding 
   C
before it kills you
 
              Em        
And you just gotta stop 

     D          C
the bleeding befoooore

Is get to work on time and 

 D             C
