Barbed Wire

Em Bm C D Em You can use me if you want to D Though my best days are behind me C When I was bright and brand new D Back before the great unwinding Em So full of good intentions D When I set off 'cross the acres C With no idea my edges D Could slice just like a razor C I am just a brittle cord D Bound within these bitter thorns G Twisted in a metal forge C D In the blue burning fire C I never meant to cause divide D Em It's just the nature of my kind C Hard to love Hard to touch D It's cut or get cut Em From barbed wire Bm E --------------- B ---------------- G ---------------- D -0h2------------ A -----2----0h2--- E -------0------0- Em I'm a product of my past D I've been rusted by the weather C I've bent unyil I snapped D And I've been mended back together Em I've ripped through hearts on honest sleeves D Turned neighbors into enemies C It was never how I meant to be D But the scars are carved forever C Cmaj7 I am just a brittle cord D Bound within these bitter thorns G Twisted in a metal forge C D In the blue burning fire C Cmaj7 I never meant to cause divide D Em It's just the nature of my kind C Hard to love Hard to touch D It's cut or get cut Em From barbed wire D G C D Mmmmmm, barbed wire C I never meant to make you cry D Em It's just the nature of my kind C Hard to love Hard to touch D It's cut or get cut Em From barbed wire D E --------------- B ---------------- G ---------------- D -0h2------------ A -----2----0h2--- E -------0------0- Em C Barbed wire D E --------------- B ---------------- G ---------------- D -0h2------------ A -----2----0h2--- E -------0------0- Em D You can use me if you want to C D Though my best days are behind me
