[Verse 1]
Am                      G
I don't know what I was thinking
C                Dm
Leaving my child behind
     F           E7                Am      (G)
Now, I suffer the curse and now, I am blind
Am                    G
With all this anger, guilt and sadness
Am         Dm
Coming to haunt me forever
F                    E7                      Am   (G)
I can't wait for the cliff at the end of the river
Am                   G
Is this revenge I am seeking
C                      Dm
Or seeking someone to avenge me?
     F            E7                  Am   (G)
Stuck in my own paradox, I wanna set myself free
Am              G
Maybe, I should chase and find
  A7                  Dm
Before they'll try to stop it
F                   E7                Am    (G)
It won't be long before I'll become a puppet
 
[Chorus]
     Am      G
It's been so long
C               A7
Since I seen my son
             Dm
Lost to this monster
       E7             Am      (G)
To the man behind the slaughter
 Am               G
Since you've been gone
C                             A7
I've been singing this stupid song
            Dm
So, I could ponder
      E7            Am
The sanity of your mother

[Verse 2]
Am                    G
I wish I lived in the present
         C                  Dm
With the gift of my past mistakes
          F                 E7                  Am    (G)
But the future keeps luring in like a pack of snakes
Am                   G         A7    A       Dm
Your sweet little eyes, your little smile is all I remember
F                    E7           Am   (G)
Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper
Am                      G        C                Dm
Justification is killing me but killing isn't justified
F                    E7             Am    (G)
What happened to my son? I'm terrified
Am               G             A7    A        Dm
It lingers in my mind and the thought keeps on getting on bigger
F                    E7               Am   (G)
I'm sorry, my sweet baby, I wish I'd been there
 
[Chorus]
     Am      G
It's been so long
C               A7
Since I seen my son
             Dm
Lost to this monster
       E7              Am
To the man behind the slaughter
 Am               G
Since you've been gone
C                             A7
I've been singing this stupid song
            Dm
So, I could ponder
      E7            Am     (G)
The sanity of your mother
