The Coward
Song A Day #1463

C      B7
The coward said to the hole in the ground
Em    Am
I'm not tryina put anybody down
F     C
But there's a war going on inside my head
G
And you better quick choose sides
F
The hole it yawned a deep deep black
Em
A wind swept up behind the cowards back
Am   G  C
And down he fell into the great beyond

He passed bones of dinosaurs
And he passed darkened corridors
He saw the roots of the world
Form and unfold right before his very eyes 
And the coward wept and fell deeper still
Down and down and down until 
All below him
Was a blinding light 

And the coward steadied himself and said
Here I am I am here and full of dread
And the hole just listened, absorbed his words
The light grew brighter than bright 
Then a great big rumble a crash and roar
And the coward and the hole were no more
And in their place was just empty space
