Cardinals Guitar Chords by The Wonder Years
[Verse 1]
(Fmaj) (Dmin)
Cardinal crashed into my window, I think he might die
(Bbmaj)
I'll plan him a funeral, I'll read his last rites
(Cmaj)
'Cause I know what he saw in that reflection of light
On the glass was a better life
[Verse 2]
(Fmaj)
Staring at a hole in your chest
(Dmin)
That's been dug there for decades
American broken promises
(Bbmaj)
Caught between the lies you've been fed
(Cmaj)
And a war with your bloodstream
(Fmaj) (Dmin) (Bbmaj)
I should have been there when you needed a friend
(Cmaj) (Fmaj) (Dmin) (Bbmaj) (Cmaj) (Fmaj) (Dmin) (Bbmaj)
I was off on my own a---gai-n
(Cmaj) (Fmaj) (Dmin) (Bbmaj)
Selfish and stupid
[Chorus]
(Fmaj)
So if you call me back or let me in
(Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again
(Fmaj)
I know the devil you've been fighting with
(Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again
[Verse 3]
(Fmaj)
I had that nightmare again
(Dmin)
You're seven and helpless, angry as hell
(Bbmaj)
And you balled up your fists but I laughed at your swings
(Cmaj)
And I beat you half-conscious
(Fmaj) (Dmin) (Bbmaj)
I know that I failed you, woke up in a sweat
(Cmaj) (Fmaj) (Dmin) (Bbmaj) (Cmaj)
I want those years back
[Chorus]
(Fmaj)
So if you call me back or let me in
(Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again
(Fmaj)
I know the devil you've been fighting with
(Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again
[Bridge]
(Fmaj) (Dmin)
We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers
(Fmaj) (Dmin)
We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers
[Chorus]
(Fmaj)
So if you call me back or let me in
(Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again
(Fmaj)
I know the devil you've been fighting with
(Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again
[Chorus]
(Fmaj)
So if you call me back or let me in
(Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again
(Fmaj)
I know the devil you've been fighting with
(Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again
(Bbmaj) (Cmaj) (Fmaj)
I'll never let you down again
