Verse 1:
E minor 7Em7
I’m beginning to hear voices and there’s no one around
E minor 7Em7
Well, I’m all used up and the fields have turned brown
E minor 7Em7
I went to church on Sunday and she passed by
E minor 7Em7
My love for her is taking such a long time to die

   BbdimBbdim    A7A7        E minor 7Em7
I’m waist deep, waist deep in the mist
      BbdimBbdim    A7A7        E minor 7Em7
It’s almost like, almost like I don’t exist
  A7A7         G+G         E minor 7Em7
I’m twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

Verse 2:
E minor 7Em7
The walls of pride are high and wide
E minor 7Em7
Can’t see over to the other side
E minor 7Em7
It’s such a sad thing to see beauty decay
E minor 7Em7
It’s sadder still to feel your heart torn away

  BbdimBbdim    A7A7        E minor 7Em7
One look at you and I’m out of control
     BbdimBbdim    A7A7        E minor 7Em7
Like the universe has swallowed me whole
   A7A7         G+G         E minor 7Em7
I’m twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

Verse 3:
E minor 7Em7
There’s too many people, too many to recall
E minor 7Em7
I thought some of ’m were friends of mine, I was wrong about ’m all
E minor 7Em7
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside’s mud
E minor 7Em7
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood

 BbdimBbdim    A7A7        E minor 7Em7
I found my world, found my world in you
     BbdimBbdim    A7A7        E minor 7Em7
But your love just hasn’t proved true
   A7A7         G+G         E minor 7Em7
I’m twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
A7A7         G+G         E minor 7Em7
Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

Verse 4:
E minor 7Em7
Oh, the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds
E minor 7Em7
Reality has always had too many heads
E minor 7Em7
Some things last longer than you think they will
E minor 7Em7
There are some kind of things you can never kill

   BbdimBbdim    A7A7        E minor 7Em7
It’s you and you only I been thinking about
   BbdimBbdim    A7A7        E minor 7Em7
But you can’t see in and it’s hard lookin’ out
  A7A7         G+G         E minor 7Em7
I’m twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

Verse 5:
E minor 7Em7
Well the fat’s in the fire and the water’s in the tank
E minor 7Em7
The whiskey’s in the jar and the money’s in the bank
E minor 7Em7
I tried to love and protect you because I cared
E minor 7Em7
I’m gonna remember forever the joy that we shared

     BbdimBbdim     A7A7        E minor 7Em7
Looking at you and I’m on my bended knee
BbdimBbdim    A7A7        E minor 7Em7
You have no idea what you do to me
A7A7         G+G         E minor 7Em7
I’m twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
A7A7         G+G         E minor 7Em7
Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
