Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice.

Verse One

Oh hell with the same old love Liner noteThis was my first song for the CD. A pre-mastered mix went online in July 2009, back when it was planned as track 13 of 14 on a CD called The Shape of Things to Come.

What will become of me

All of these days just roll into one

I never knew it would be so boring

Verse Two

I've got to get out of this place

Before this half-a-life swallows me up

I said I feel the walls are getting closer baby

I need to just before the door closes

Chorus One

The love goes on

Sometimes it just simply fades away

And I'll be back soon, my friend

God Rest Your Soul

Verse Three

Please don't feel that I'm leaving you

I'll be back before you miss me

She said I don't know what you're looking for

But I wish that it came from me

Bridge

Cause I've been gone too long

I've been gone, but I'll be back soon

Chorus Two

This world spins on

Someday we may all be washed away

But I'll be back soon lover

God Rest Your Soul

Chorus Three

This life goes on

One day I may soon fade away

I'll be back soon - Momma

God Rest Your Soul
