Guadalcanal Diary


Tom: G

G                  D             C
The mirror catches everything in lovely shades of red
Bm               Em               Am            D
Pools of scarlet running from the hollows of her bed
G                    D             G7          C
She said she'd never hurt me, as I locked the door
       G        C                 G
Please stop me, before I kill more

[verse]
D            G              D         C
   I've been trying to wake up from a dream that's lasted years
Bm                Em              Am               D
Tonight I fell forever through a dream that ended here
        G                D           G7            C
Someone come and pick me up from the pieces on the floor
       G        C                 G
Please stop me, before I kill more

[verse]
G         D                  C
One day a rain will come and wash the streets all clean
Bm                  Em           Am             D
But until that rain appears, the job is mine it seems
G                       D             G7                 C
They're looking for me, everwhere, but I don't know what for
       G        C                 G
Please stop me, before I kill more

[verse]
D         G          D            G7            C
   I try to catch my mind, but it leaves me like before
         G      C                 G D
Please stop me, before I kill more
         G      C                 G D
Please stop me, before I kill more
         G
Please stop me
