Kangaroo Cry

Blue October

C         Am Em
Losing my control
C         Am  Em
Here it is the day I have to go

Just sit beside me
C           Am   Em
I can't let this show
C                 Am Em
How sick I feel to leave you so alone
C
God I'm terrified

G                          C
We've lost respect for decency
G
When one could turn our world into an ant pile
G                        C
We run circles, no direction do I see
G                         C
The dust has blinded you, the dust has blinded me

C                      G
I kissed her on the cheek and then I waved goodbye
C                                 G
She had the saddest look I’ve seen in years - a kangaroo cry
C                   G                      C
A warm pathetic ocean flow we have to live by
G
We have to live by
C
Because we have to live

G
And you choose to break our families
C                                       F
Tell me you've used all precautions known

And I'll stand beside the ones who stood alone
G                                           C
How long will we have to sing until you finally bring our sons,
F
Our daughters home?

We'll let the prayers start healing, what time's been stealing

C  Am  Em  (2x)

C                      Am Em
We only want to feel as close as we can be
C                         Am       Em
Use hands for holding on to your precious family
C                         Am
Just believe in all who shine

Em
The light to help you see
C                  Am  Em
Cause if I believe in you, will you believe in me?

C                      G
I kissed her on the cheek and then I waved goodbye
C                                 G
She had the saddest look I’ve seen in years - a kangaroo cry
C                   G                      C
A warm pathetic ocean flow we have to live by
G
We have to live by
C
Because we have to live

G
And you choose to break our families
C                                       F
Tell me you've used all precautions known

And I'll stand beside the ones who stood alone
G                                           C
How long will we have to sing until you finally bring our sons,
F
Our daughters home?

We'll let the prayers start healing, what time's been stealing

Been stealing.
G
Keep hanging on
C            F
Keep hanging on
G
Keep hanging on
C            F
Keep hanging on

We'll let the prayers start healing, when time's been stealing

C  Am  Em  (4x)

Start healing, Start healing
