The Ancient West Teclado

	   
verse 1 
N.C. 
It's been weeks since I've seen a real smile 
Oh I know I won't see it for awhile 
D 
I've counted inches from your yard to my door 
(D) 
And I want nothing more than to know for sure 

F#m 
It's been weeks since I've had a good thought 
(F#m) 
I'm telling secrets about the lies that you bought 
D 
You used to love to hear me sing 
(D)                                
And we would talk about everything 
E        D 
It was beautiful to me 


A 

F#m                             D 
I don't want to be him anymore 

(D)                         F#m 
I don't want to be him anymore 


verse 2 
N.C. 
Maybe I'll hear your voice in a crowded room 
Picture us one day a bride and a groom 
D 
I'll walk in and I bet he will too 
(D) 
Does he feel the way I felt about you? 

F#m 
I muttered something quiet under my breath 
(F#m) 
Then he quickly grabbed his coat and his chest 
D 
I don't know how much time is left 
(D) 
So hang your head and pray for the best 

F#m 
Hang your head and pray for the best 
N.C. 
Hang your head and pray for the best 


A 

F#m 
I don't want to be him anymore 

D 
So keep me up and tell me every fear 
(D) 
When you were young and the days passed like years 
F#m 
Between the booze and the "remember whens" 
(F#m) 
I'm telling all the same stories again 

verse 3 
N.C. 
You pray to him he is a god to you 
But does he hold your head and hear your blues? 
I won't be the one who makes you choose 
And give up everything that you can't lose 
Old notions from the ancient west 
They hang your head and pray for the best 
So hang your head and pray for the best 
Hang your head and pray for the best 

Ending  
F#m D x4 

F#m 
Hang your head and pray for the best 
(F#m) 
Hang your head and pray for the best 
D 
Hang your head and pray for the best 
(D) 
Hang your head and pray for the best 

F#m
