[D] [A]
[D]
[A]
You have got
[D] that look [A] in your eye, [D] in the dim, brick light, where kindness [A] knows to die.
I'll be [B] six [A] years old, [D] that's
[A] you erasing.
[G] [D] [A]
[D]
[A] [G]
[A] [D]
You'll be sorry, you always feel sorry [A] later on.
When you come around to say, son, [D] I [A] will be gone, [Bm] and in [A] my place, [D] meet my letter, [A] perfect
body, double, you [D] erase me.
[A]
[D]
[A] [F#]
When [A] I got ready,
[G] I set out on [D] my own,
[B] took up the [A] reins myself, all for you.
[D] Dug the spurs in, [A] cleaned down to the bone, but all that comes later, [D] now there's only
you [A] and me, and the replica, where [D] my body [A] used to be.
[Bm] You can go ahead [A] and hit him, [D] he feels no pain at [A] all.
You erase me,
[G] [A]
you erase me.
