 heart


2.What are you gonna do now
  Now that it's spoken
  These words have a habit of not fading away
  Our memory's clear
  Conscience gets opened like a wound
  If you can't concieve of better lines and better times
  Then let silence bury you
  In the end
  You will be condemned

Rant: You see the Boston strangler on the freedom road you think the
  suffragettes got sunk a long long time ago you spewed it out your
  spite was insecure it was like bile from the height on the toilet
  floor you were a nazi drunk you had the rednecks roaring for blood
  and then they wanted more your life was so small you couldn't get
  enough you made a start



Most chords are actually played as power chords (ie no 3rd played), but
 I've put them as major and minor chords as best I can.
