The Lighthouse

[Verse 1] Am From a tender age, I was cursed with rage C Came swingin' like a fist inside a battin' cage F I went swimmin' with the Devil at the bottom of a lake G G#dim And he left me there by my lonesome Am He was tall and mean with venom eyes so green C Wanted reconciliation, but my tongue was in my teeth F I couldn't find the floor, so I was kickin' with my feet G G#dim But they weren't there, they were stolen Chorus Am There is a lighthouse G F In thе middle of the deep end Em Dm I'm still strandеd on the shoreline there G G#dim And nobody hears me scream Am And I'll lure you like a landslide G F And I'll show you lovely things Em If you rescue me, but they'll make-believe G G#dim The lighthouse by the sea [Verse 2] Am I met a sailor on a ship with promise in his eyes C He kissed me on the mouth and dug his fingers in my thighs F But a sailor ain't a savior 'cause they only tell you lies G G#dim So I left him there 'til the sunrise Am Well, the waves were tall and they were crashin' down C He's layin' in the water, begging God to let him drown F So I showed him all my teeth and then I laughed out loud *G* 'Cause I never wanted savin', I just wanted to be found Chorus Am There is a lighthouse G F In thе middle of the deep end Em Dm I'm still strandеd on the shoreline there G G#dim And nobody hears me scream Am And I'll lure you like a landslide G F And I'll show you lovely things Em If you rescue me, but they'll make-believe G G#dim The lighthouse by the sea Bridge Am Well, that should teach a man to mess with me C He was never seen again and I'm still wanderin' the beach *F* And I'm glad I met the Devil 'cause he showed me I was weak G G#dim And a little piece of him is in a little piece of me Chorus Am There is a lighthouse G F In thе middle of the deep end Em Dm I'm still strandеd on the shoreline there G G#dim And nobody hears me scream Am And I'll lure you like a landslide G F And I'll show you lovely things Em If you rescue me, but they'll make-believe G G#dim The lighthouse by the sea G Em F Outro G Em F And the waves come crashing down G Em F And the waves come crashing down G Em F And the waves come crashing down G Em F And the waves come crashing down G Em F And the waves come crashing down G Em F And the waves come crashing down
