Текст песни Misc Unsigned Bands - Atwood - Wait For The Sirens To Pass

Capo 5th fret, standard tuning. 

    Things seem so opposite 
More and more 
Everyday 

    I'm asleep when I'm wide awake 
And the sun shines 
When it rains 

    Feels like I'm lying when 
I'm telling the truth 
And it hurts
How it pains 

When they ask how I'm doing 
And i just smile in reply 
I say "Thanks
I'm okay" 

I'm just    stumblin' 
I'm just    drunk again
It's not my fault anyway

Just some    song I wrote
Just some    heart I broke
Another ball and chain 

    My father put down his guitar
And he spoke
His refrain 

He said "You can write songs 'till you're blue in the face 
But son nothin's
Gonna change"

And I think of that now as I'm writing this down
trying to catch
Your gaze 

With some pretty words, wrapped in metaphors 
Hoping I can leave you
On a page 

Take what's      killing me,
Light it with      kerosene, 
Turn and walk away 

May each       verse I write
Be my last     compromise 
To simply numb the pain 

Because you know as well as I do
That these things will fade 

**Guitar 1 Solo**         (2x)

    I know a woman who lives alone
In a house
Down the way 

Who wears a beautiful gown 
And a thorny crown 
And hangs paintings without frames

She waters her plants
And feeds her shepard dog that's locked up 
With no name 

And every now and again
Something falls and breaks
And darkness leads the way

'Cause when her    husband died
There was no          blinding light 
Just an empty grave

Now her       hallowed god
Is just a        calloused fraud
And no one's ever saved

    Sometimes I hear her sing songs so true
They remind me
Of a place

That I've never been
But her voice captures me, and I'm forced 
To retrace

The steps to her door
Where I hide and listen, 'till her dog barks
From its cage

And she straightens up,
Looks right at me, and demands
In a wispy way

She says              "Who are you?"
"What are you      going to do?" 
"Come out and show your face"

I said        "Ma'm I've tried 
To try and answer that phrase 

But if you sing another song,
I think we'd be
O-kay 

(Let ring) 
And should we all die tomorrow 
At least we had 
To-day
