[Am][F]

[Verse 1]
Young [Am]life, too young,
who's [F]eyes are choking,
Can't [Am]rest, can't sleep,
[F]for dreams that set you
Falling
Don't [G]feel the [D]hunger,
can[F]'t drink no holy water,
No [Am]light in these eyes,
no [F]place for dreams at all
[Am]To night

[D]When the

[Verse 2]
[G]hand [Am]that rocks [D]the [Am]cradle,
[G]is the [Am]hand
That holds [D]the [Am]knife,
And [G]the knife [Am]that cuts [D]the [Am]cable,
[G]kills the spark [Am]that
Feed[D]s the l[Am]ife.[D][F]

[Verse 3]
[Chorus] No grave could [G]be
deep enough,
[Am]down to hell[F] if we
Were [G]able,[D]
[F]The veil of life was pus[G]hed aside,
[Am]by t[F]he hand that

[Interlude 2]
Rocks the cradle.
