Is a southbound train gonna take you north
                               D#         G#
Would you wait for the cart to drag that horse
                                      C#
Does it only take Jesus to believe in God
                              D#        G#
While we wait for the tail to wag that dog

Life is a well run  dry

Waiting to live or die

Watching the best and the worst go by

When a hobo's sleeping in a cold dark ditch
                                  C#
Is every little flame just lit by moths
                                       G#
Will we burn all the bridges before we cross

One day it's all gonna come and go
C#

Now that we're drinking from a broken cup

We used up all the rope just to tie that knot
                               D#         G#
And we spend all the pennies before they drop
                                        C#
The belly of the beast is a hard one to crack
                              D#         G#
As the crow flies east but he won't fly back


Chorus:
          Fm   D#/G  G#
Life is a mean old  man
          C#    D#   G#
Shaking a worn out hand
         Fm    D#/G       G#             C#
Out in a storm trying to hold back the dam
C#
But how's it ever gonna fill you up
                               Fm     C#
Now that we're drinking from a broken cup
C#
And how's it ever gonna make me feel
                              Fm D#   G#
Now that we're driving with a broken wheel
