Chalk Outline (One Guitar)

by Matthew1018



I've been cursed, I've been crossed,

I've been beaten by the ones that get me off.

I've been cooked, I've been overdone,

I've been shattered by the ones I thought I loved.

[Chorus:]

You  left  me here like a chalk outline,

On the sidewalk waiting for the rain,

to wash away, wash away.

You keep coming back to the scene of the crime,

But the dead can't speak and there's

nothing left to say anyways.

All you left behind, it's a chalk outline.



I've been cold, in the (?).

But not as cold and the words across your lips.

You'll be sorry baby, someday.

When you reach across the bed where my body used to lay.



[Chorus:]

You left me here like a chalk outline,

On the sidewalk waiting for the rain,

to wash away, wash away.

You keep coming back to the scene of the crime,

But the dead can't speak and there's

nothing left to say anyways.



All you left behind, it's a chalk outline.

All you left BEHIND, it's a chalk outline!

(All you left behind~..)



You  left  me here like a chalk outline,

On the sidewalk waiting for the rain,

to wash away, WASH AWAY!!

You keep coming back to the scene of the crime,

But the dead can't speak and there's

nothing left to say anyways.

All you left behind, it's a chalk outline!
