Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G Em C D x2

Verse:
   G    C        D
Desperation, I know you oh too well,
 G      Em
A sister to my saddened heart,
  C        D
The bride of my own hell.

Chorus:
   G         C         D
But ambition, you're my best friend and my worst,
      G        C
'Cause you lead me to that fallowed field,
   D       G
That cut me like a curse.

G Em C D x2

Verse:
  G       C       D
Intuition, are my senses growin' dim,
G         Em
Backed up in this corner now,
C       D
With no way to win.

Chorus:
   G         C         D
But ambition, you're my best friend and my worst,
      G        C
'Cause you lead me to that fallowed field,
   D       G
That cut me like a curse.

Bridge:
 D        C       G
Seclusion, I spend too much time alone,
      C      G
And as the water to the fisherman,
  G       D
The hammer to the stone.

Chorus:
 G         C         D
Ambition, you're my best friend and my worst,
      G        C
'Cause you lead me to that fallowed field,
   D       G
That cut me like a curse.

G Em C D x2

Verse:
   G      C       D
Inspiration, you used to come around,
  G      Em
And I was always waitin' there,
C         D
When the sun went down.

Verse:
 G        C         D
Religion, don't forget your blue eyed boy,
  G         C
Who wrestles with the angels,
  D         G
Who claim the blood is yours.

Bridge:
  D     C          G
Invitation, I have had them all before,
     C          G
From the smilin' man with the greasy hand,
    G       D
To the empty hearted whore.

Chorus:
   G         C         D
But ambition, you're my best friend and my worst,
      G        C
'Cause you lead me to that fallowed field,
   D       G
That cut me like a curse.

G Em C D x2
