lyrics

The Bullet and the Shell

Capo 2nd fret

C F G7
It's time for the heart to do something it really feels
C G Am7 G/B G7
Time for the soul to take another peak in to hell
Am Em F C
Time for the mind to think before it kneels
Dm C G/B Am7 G7
Time to chew the bullet, bite the shell

C F G7
It's time to stop moving to the places well known
C G Am7 G/B G7
Time to revisit all the places I fell
Am Em F C
Time to brush off all the dust that hasn't blown
Dm C G/B Am7 G7
Time to chew the bullet, bite the shell

Am Em F C
There's time enough for each man to happen
Dm C G Am7 G/B G7
There's time enough left to release
Am Em F C
All the crazies to go to the party and rap on
Dm C G/B Am7 G7
The door, before each one is given peace

C F G7
It's time to go for that long walk
C G Am7 G/B G7
It's time for my toes to grip well
Am Em F C
On the path that leads to the hard fork
Dm C G/B Am7 G7
The path that leads from the cell

C F G7
It's time for those men to happen
C F G7
It's time for them all to tell
C Fmaj7 Fmaj7(F#)
Within an angel lives a madman
Dm C G/B Am7 G7
It's time for their whispers to yell
Am Em F G7 C
Time to chew the bullet, bite the shell
