Cardinals Chords

(ver. 1)
The Wonder Years

[Verse 1]
G                                                  Em
Cardinal crashed into my window, I think he might die
                                             C
I'll plan him a funeral, I'll read his last rites
                                                 D
'Cause I know what he saw in that reflection of light

On the glass was a better life


[Verse 2]
G
Staring at a hole in your chest
                           Em
That's been dug there for decades

American broken promises
C
Caught between the lies you've been fed
                     D
And a war with your bloodstream
                                           G    Em   C
I should have been there when you needed a friend
      D          G  Em  C   D        G  Em  C
I was off on my own a---gai-n
D                   G  Em  C
Selfish and stupid


[Chorus]
           G
So if you call me back or let me in
             Em
I swear I'll never let you down again
            G
I know the devil you've been fighting with
              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again


[Verse 3]
G
I had that nightmare again
                  Em
You're seven and helpless, angry as hell
                        C
And you balled up your fists but I laughed at your swings
                    D
And I beat you half-conscious
                                       G   Em  C
I know that I failed you, woke up in a sweat
D             G     Em  C  D
I want those years back


[Chorus]
           G
So if you call me back or let me in
              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again
            G
I know the devil you've been fighting with
              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again


[Bridge]
G                Em
We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers
G                Em
We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers


[Chorus]
           G
So if you call me back or let me in
              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again
            G
I know the devil you've been fighting with
              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again


[Chorus]
           G
So if you call me back or let me in
              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again
            G
I know the devil you've been fighting with
              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again
      C             D     G
I'll never let you down again
