Hey, _ _ _ [D] Gordon _ James, _ [C] why'd your mama [D] give you two [Gm] last names?
_ _ _ [C]
Did she have _ expectations [Em]
for you? _ _ _
[D] Did you let her down [C] like we knew you [G] would do?
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ Gordon [D] _
James, _ I [C] know we're [D] all subject [G] to change,
_ But [C] you were way too young [Em] to lose your soul.
They [Am] say you traded it away,
_ [B] _ _
_ _ But you [A] think you could [B] just buy [C] it back [G] _ someday. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[D] Gordon James, _ [C] were you too busy _ [D] ducking the [G] blind?
To _ [C] realize _ that you would [Em] now feel, _ _ _
[D] Maybe someday soon _ [C] it'll [A] all be [G] so clear.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Were [C] you lonely?
_ Yeah, [Em] we were all lonely.
_ [C] Were you scared?
_ _ [E] Yeah, well, I was [F#] scared too.
[G] _ _
[C] Did your dreams turn black?
[G] Did you sleep like a child?
[C] Did your heroes die off, think [Em] you were riding the wild?
[Am] Or was this just the path that you [E] cheated?

_ _ [C] Were you _ blinded?
Yeah, we [E] were all _ blinded.
[C] The trick is they say to [E] heal [F#] yourself.
_ _ [G] _
Did [C] you just let go [G] of the reins one day?
Let [C] the _ ocean's current _ [Em] [E] wash you [B] away?
[Am] Were you all alone when [E] you fell?
_ [C] _
Gordon [D] _ James, _ did [C] your mama _ [D] die from [G] the shame? _ _
Was [C] she trying to pull you [E] back into the light?
[Em]
But [Am] you were way too far gone to [E] save. _ _ _ _
[D] Do you even [C] look as in her [G] _ grave? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[D] Gordon _ James, _ [C] you think it's [D] too late to [G] change. _ _ _
[C] To make up for the lives [Em] that you've bought and sold. _
[C] And the war machines [Em] that you've traded for gold.
[Am] Could this be the day that [Em] you pray? _ _ _
[D] Do you think it really _ _ [C] matters _ anyway?
