Wil Wagner - Malt Memories Chords

[Intro]
Fmaj7 Gsus4 Am
Fmaj7 Gsus4 Am
 
[Verse 1]
F
I walked past cracked top-floor windows and boarded-up doors,
     Gsus4               Am                       F
Past rubble and ruin and bits of the floor on the street.
                                          Gsus4
Every blank brick tagged with huffers and heat,
                    Am                    F
And an overwhelming sense that you'd been beaten.
                                   Gsus4
The air it hung heavy with humid humility,
           Am                 F
Every half sentence inept of ability,
                                     Gsus4
To properly explain the pain and the hurt.
               Am                         Fmaj7
The way things are now and the way things were.
 
[Chorus]
         C
And it's hard not to know when your time is up,
         C
But it's harder admitting you've had enough,
          F
And after everything we shared I still care so much about you.
               C
But we've been watching something great bloat and stagnate,
    Csus2                             C
And our best years liquor up and limp away.
   F
As hard as it is now scr*pping hope for this house and this family,
                      F
I'll always have your ink under my skin.
                      F                 C
I'll always have your ink under my...

[Verse 2]
           F
And on the dead grass and leaves and assorted debris,
  Gsus4                    Am
I sit and I toss back some malt memories,
       F
Of you calling my name from the top of the city,
Gsus4               Am
  Telling me when I tried to believe
          F
That what still lives in me
                           Gsus4
Is selfless and sacred not selfish and mean.
     Am                       F
So I slink back into the dark district, meet up with friends
                               Gsus4                  Am
And drink myself sick from the things that I've said.
                       F
To what lives under my skin, and what passes my lips,
                         Gsus4                      Am
And how my left shoulder hurts when the temperature drips.
 
[Chorus]
         C
And it's hard not to know when your time is up,
         C
But it's harder admitting you've had enough,
          F
And after everything we shared I still care so much about you.
               C
But we've been watching something great bloat and stagnate,
    Csus2                             C
And our best years liquor up and limp away.
   F
As hard as it is now scr*pping hope for this house and this family,
                      F
I'll always have your ink under my skin.
                      F                 C
I'll always have your ink under my...

[Bridge]
C      Am       F               C
Our lives revolve around forged signatures and luck.
C      Am       F                   C
Our lives are funded by five-dollar door charges and love.
C      Am       F                    C
Our lives revolve around forged signatures and luck.

Our lives are funded by five-dollar door charges and love.
