Chemical Courage Lyrics
Jack Savoretti
Lyrics
Tonight has been long, I've smoked every breath,
Tryin to feel so alive, tempting death,
I've smiled at the angels, but I fear where they live,
I've taken too much but nothing to give
My chemical courage, has come to an end...
The night once my lover is no longer a friend.
Well tonight has gone wrong, cause I said what I said,
I've been left all alone, to lie in my bed.
Thinking, I'm just a fake, that nothing is real,
If I'm asking to be saved I must learn how to kneel
Now my chemical courage has come to an end...
The night once my lover is no longer my friend.
Playin tricks on my eyes, shining light on my tears,
I pray for a new day to hide all my fears.
I can't find my way, back to where I felt safe.
Now my chemical courage has come to an end,
The night once my lover is no longer my friend.
Playin tricks on my eyes, shining light on my tears
