       Verse 1:

        E                                EEE    A                                         AAA

        Hey honey whatcha trying to say         As I stand here don’t walk away

        B       A                    E

        And the world comes tumbling down

        E                                EEE    A                                         AAA

        Hand in hand in a violent life          Making love on the edge of a knife

        B       A                    E

        And the world comes tumbling down

 

        Bridge:

                 A                                       E

        And it's hard for me to say             And it’s hard for me to stay

                  A                                       E

        I'm going down to be by myself          I’m going back for the good of my health

                    B                                A                          E

        And there's one thing I couldn't do     Sacrifice myself to you    Sacrifice

        Verse 2:

        E                          EEE          A                               AAA

        Hey baby I just can't see               Just what you mean to me

        E                             EEE       A                                     AAA

        I take my hand and I fake my words      I’m just your long time curse

        B                            A                                              E

        And if you walk away I can't take it    But that’s the way that you are

                                       A                                E

        And that's the things that you say      And now you’ve gone too far

                            A

        With all things you say

        B                                               A

        Get back to where you come from         I can't help it

        Under the April sun                     Under the April sky

        ooh-ooh-oooh    ooh-ooh-oooh    ooh-ooh-oooh    ooh-ooh-oooh

        Sun grows cold, sky gets black  And you broke me up and now you won't come back

        E                                     A                                       E

        Shaking hand, life is dead      And a broken heart and a screaming head   Hey hey

                        A                                       E

        Under the April skies                   Under the April sun

                        A       B   A                           E

        Under the April sky                     Under the April sky
