More songs by Vigilantes Of Love


This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

Capo 2nd fret.  Harmonica is A major diatonic.

G     Em    G     Em

        G         C                  G
Comes a time it's all been stripped away
        Em             C              Am                 C
Comes a time when it's time to take a good long look and walk away
        G       C                 G
Comes a time to lose yourself in song
        Em          C                        Am                   C
When survival's the game you play but you're barely just holding on

               Am                C
    Maybe it's yours, maybe it's mine
                   G                   Em
    Same flesh and blood, same crooked line
        Am               C
    Backside of the backbeat

    Yeah, doin' time

If my walls are crumbling can I set a spell
If you fashion up the foundation it's all just shot to hell
And my blueprints are really so suspect
With my plumb line good and twisted, ragged measurements

Comes a time to let the whole thing go
Comes a time when you realize we've all been bought and sold
Yeah, beat up, cut down, turned out of your game
Hey money moves the lips where once the spirit was untamed
