Secrets Of A Salesman by Rocky Votolato
Secrets Of A Salesman
Capo 2
E C#m
These baby secrets have grown into children
A B
through dirty adolescence and now into manhood
F#m A B
I locked the basement door and broke off the skeleton key
E C#m A B
but it made no difference still they travel with me even though I killed them
they haunt me and they help me
F#m A B
remember the lies in the shadows, the practiced charades
F#m A B
my hands are an axe chopping at the roots
F#m A B
of the only family tree that could ever bear fruit
F#m A C#m B
to cripple you to make sure that you never reproduce
F#m A B
another heart of lies, a house of haunted rooms
A B C#m A B C#m
the arrow is thrown into your back nothing has ever been
F#m B
so distant and weak
A B C#m A B C#m
dreaded words whispered under her breath "your just like your father"
B C#m B C#m B C#m B C#m
your ocean is a drop of water your ocean is a drop of water
tightly woven wire mesh beneath the broken salesman as he's rolling down the conveyer belt
the product is almost ready to be shipped out the door
out into the world to make a living selling plastic faces to everyone who needs em
to forget the lies in the shadows, the practiced charades
the enemy will make sure the ties on straight
it's always best to make an impression of wealth
no matter how much hatred and debt is boiling beneath the surface
"I love you" spills like vomit from her lips the arrow is thrown into your back
nothing has ever been so distant and weak
the dreaded words whispered under her breath "you're just like your father"
your ocean is a drop of water
I locked the basement doors and broke of the skeleton key
forget the lies in the shadows, don't forget me
