[Verse 1]
Am
From a tender age,
I was cursed with rage
C
Came swingin' like a
fist inside a battin' cage
F
I went swimmin' with the
Devil at the bottom of a lake
G G#dim
And he left me there by my lonesome
Am
He was tall and
mean with venom eyes so green
C
Wanted reconciliation,
but my tongue was in my teeth
F
I couldn't find the floor,
so I was kickin' with my feet
G
But they weren't there,
G#dim
they were stolen

[Chorus]
Am
There is a lighthouse
G F
In thе middle of the deep end
Em Dm
I'm still strandеd
on the shoreline there
G G#dim
And nobody hears me scream
Am
And I'll lure you like a landslide
G F
And I'll show you lovely things
Em
If you rescue me,
but they'll make-believe
G G#dim
The lighthouse by the sea

[Verse 2]
Am
I met a sailor on a ship
with promise in his eyes
C
He kissed me on the mouth and
dug his fingers in my thighs
F
But a sailor ain't a savior
'cause they only tell you lies
G G#dim
So I left him there 'til the sunrise
Am
Well, the waves were tall and
they were crashin' down
C
He's layin' in the water,
begging God to let him drown
F
So I showed him all my teeth and
then I laughed out loud
*G*
'Cause I never wanted savin',
I just wanted to be found
