For Goodness Sake Chords & Lyrics by Chuck Ragan
For Goodness Sake
guitar chords lyrics
Intro: E - H - Cis - A - H - E
VERSE 1:
E
Simple backbeats seem to soothe me. If i could hold them i would let see,
A
Take some rest as if not wicked. And walk around enjoying silence.
E
A world away, elders gather. Speaking their tongue and hardly falter.
A
With words of bound, joy and grievance, Simple songs, work and penance.
PRE-CHORUS
H
To drawn hate like a stone,
Cis
walk the path overgrown.
A
Never lie awake,
H
And so for goodness sake.
VERSE 2:
E
Well down the road the deer are crossing, And the grass is greener where they're walking.
A
Rattling beasts and heavy movements, Mark them now son before we lose them.
E
Bear your arms ever so wisely, Or burn them all if you have no need.
A
And dress to kill but kill so kindly. A hollow heart's too weak and weary.
PRE-CHORUS
H
To drawn hate like a stone,
Cis
walk the path overgrown.
A
Never lie awake,
H
And so for goodness sake.
CHORUS:
Cis A
Now call me crazy but all the old ways,
E H
Of living simple are simply fading.
Cis A E
And all we buy is time before we die,
H E
lay on down desensitized.
VERSE 3:
E (let ring)
A wise old friend recently told me: "An idle mind is the devils playpen".
A (let ring)
Mind the gaps and watch them closely. Spread the love but choose your friends wisely.
E
Love yourself to love your family, And find the difference between wants and needs.
A
Be sure to stop and count your blessings, Smell the roses and fight for something.
PRE-CHORUS
H
To drawn hate like a stone,
Cis
walk the path overgrown.
A
Never lie awake,
H
And so for goodness sake.
CHORUS:
Cis A
Now call me crazy but all the old ways,
E H
Of living simple are simply fading.
Cis A E
And all we buy is time before we die,
H H
lay on down
Cis A E
And all we buy is time before we die,
H E
lay on down desensitized.
