G             Em7          Bm            C       G
Now there's a heart in the middle of somewhere tonight
Em7           Bm         C          G
Screaming for reasons or just a way out
          Em7          Bm        C          G
I put the shirt off my back on a wager that says
        Em7       Bm            C          G         C G
There's one every night from my old school yard days

There's been times I've been stood in the wind and the rain
Em7          Bm         C              G
Freezing and busted and tricked out of luck
      Em7       Bm           C            G
And I cursed my teachers for all of their reading
Em7            Bm            C             G
What we needed most can't be found in them books

Verse 3:

         Em7          Bm                  C            G
Now they teach you to swim but they don't speak of the danger
Em7          Bm             C         G
Tell you the truth but they never say why
Em7        Bm          C                      G
Put you on ice that is thin and tell you it's winter
        Em7        Bm       C          G
Without one golden rule the truth is a lie
