Redemption

          E
There's a picture on the table, broken glass on the floor
B7                         A              E  
A cigarette in my hand I'm going off to war
E
Images of silhouettes plastered on my brain
B7                             A               E
Bitter taste on my tongue, familiar mixed with pain
    A                                        E
I'm driving down the highway, shadows in headlights
B7                                     A                   E
Justice dressed in sheets of gray with trails of black and white


Chorus:
A                        E
A man can be a diamond a man can be a steal
B7                          A                 E
A man can be a poet and not have the words to feel
A                        E
Mercy is a preacher held captive under fire
B7                                  A            E
Redemption smells like gasoline and burns like desire

                 
She steps out under cover, turns around and waves
I light up that cigarette and I watch her drive away
Doors can open easy but sometimes they close hard
I left him laying where I found him and I got back in my car
She's already gone to bed by the time that I get home
I make myself some coffee and I sit up alone

Chorus
                 
The sunshine in the morning feels like water on my bones
I hear her through the walls as she screams into the phone
There's a picture on the table, broken glass on the floor
A pistol in my gripping hand, I open up the doo
