[Primera Parte]

Em      C      F#m      B7
Took me years to make my motives clear
Em      C      F#m      B7
And the days have not been kind
Em      C      F#m      B7
Once a steady gaze and charming smile
Em      C      F#m      B7
Has been buried in the lines I find

Em      C      F#m      B7
I walk in the noise, quiet employs
Em      C      F#m      B7
And darkness seems to know just where I am

[Estribillo]

C       Am     E        E
Mother wash the devil from my hands
C       Am     E        E
Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand
C       Am     E        E
Mother, tell me was it all a lie?
E              C            Am  E
Show me where the angels die

[Segunda Parte]

Em      C      F#m      B7
There are words that never found my lips
Em      C      F#m      B7
There are words I'd soon forget
Em      C      F#m      B7
Thought the trick was never to look back
Em      C      F#m      B7
But it seems I've lost my grip, I slip

Em      C      F#m      B7
The faster we run now, the closer the gun now
Em      C      F#m      B7
And somehow all the bullets bear my name

[Estribillo]

C       Am     E        E
Mother wash the devil from my hands
C       Am     E        E
Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand
C       Am     E        E
Mother, tell me was it all a lie?
E              C            Am  E
Show me where the angels die

Terceira Parte:
Em      C      F#m      B7
Took the road but should have chased the stars
Em      C      F#m      B7
Now I've lost my own way home
Em      C      F#m      B7
Had a photo of the time we shared
Em      C      F#m      B7
But I burned it long ago, I know

Em      C      F#m      B7
I struck the matches stuck in the ashes
Em      C      F#m      B7
Forgive me, won't you simply speak my name

[Estribillo]

C       Am     E        E
Mother wash the devil from my hands
C       Am     E        E
Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand
C       Am     E        E
Mother, tell me was it all a lie?
E              C            Am  E
Show me where the angels die

[Final]

Em         C            F#m       B7
The faster we run now, the closer the gun now
Em         C            F#m       B7
And somehow we all found the warmth of the gun now
