Megadeth – 13
[Verse 1]
E
Thirteen times I went to the well
C
To draw my thoughts, I'll gather and tell
C#m
Like bricks that I've laid to build my life
C
Those that crumbled only caused me strife
E
Thoughts became words, cast into the sea
C
But they returned, always haunting me
C#m
Like a severed arm washed up on the shore
D E
I just don't think I can give anymore
[Verse 2]
C A Bm Em
Because I've lived, how many times Do I have to die?
C Am B Em
Because I've lived, how many lives Do I have to die?
[Verse 3]
C C#m C E
Thirteen times and it's been lucky for me
C C#m D E
After everything, you still want me to bleed
C C#m C Em
Thirteen ways to see the devil in my eyes
C A A Em Em
Because I stood here thirteen times and I'm still alive
[Verse 4]
E
At thirteen I started down this path
C
Fueled with anger, music was my wrath
C#m
Years of clawing at scars that never healed
C
Drowning my mind, the thoughts are too real
[Verse 2]
C A Bm Em
Because I've lived, how many times Do I have to die?
C Am B Em
Because I've lived, how many lives Do I have to die?
[Verse 3]
C C#m C E
Thirteen times and it's been lucky for me
C C#m D E
After everything, you still want me to bleed
C C#m C Em
Thirteen ways to see the devil in my eyes
C A A Em Em
Because I stood here thirteen times and I'm still alive
[Chorus]
A Em
I can't get out;
A Em
I can't jump out
A Em
Too much to face;
A Em
I can't erase
[Verse 2]
C A Bm Em
Because I've lived, how many times Do I have to die?
C Am B Em
Because I've lived, how many lives Do I have to die?
[Verse 3]
C C#m C E
Thirteen times and it's been lucky for me
C C#m D E
After everything, you still want me to bleed
C C#m C Em
Thirteen ways to see the devil in my eyes
C A A Em Em
Because I stood here thirteen times and I'm still alive
And I'm still alive
[Chorus]
A Em
I can't get out;
A Em
I can't jump out
A Em
Too much to face;
A Em
I can't erase
Thirteen times and it's been lucky for me
