C majorC A minorAm FF DmDm
We carried you in our arms on Independence Day
Bb majorBb FF C majorC
And now you'd throw us all aside and put us all away
A minorAm FF DmDm
Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat a father so?
Bb majorBb FF C majorC
To wait upon him hand and foot and always tell him "No"
(Chorus:)
E7E7 A minorAm
Tears of rage, tears of grief
FF C majorC
Why must I always be the thief?
E7E7 A minorAm
Come to me now, you know we're so low
FF C7C7 Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
And life is brief
It was all very painless
When you went out to receive
All that false instruction
Which we never could believe
And now the heart is filled with gold
As if it was a purse
But, oh, what kind of love is this
Which goes from bad to worse?
(Chorus)
We pointed you the way to go
And scratched your name in sand
Though you just thought it was nothing more
Than a place for you to stand
I want you to know that while we watched
You discovered no one would be true
And I myself was among
The ones who thought
It was just a childish thing to do
(Chorus)
sorwan tisser is toroblae
