Eb MajorEb
Lookin' past the edge of moonlight,
AbAb Eb MajorEb
Hoping for the break of day.
Eb MajorEb
Seein' only cracks in sidewalks, not
Bb majorBb
the paved city way.
Eb MajorEb
Lookin' down this road to glory in a
AbAb Eb MajorEb
car designed to fail.
Eb MajorEb
Breathin' cold winds of freedom
Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
while my mind remains in jail.
(2x)
AbAb
With a strong steady tailwind, all I
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
see is pourin' rain.
AbAb
A augmentedA victim of a brutal mindset walks
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
this lonely son of shame.
Eb MajorEb
Because the grass is always
AbAb C minorCm
greener, I will sit here in my pain.
Eb MajorEb
Lookin' at the wealth around me.
AbAb Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
Woe is me, this son of shame.
Eb MajorEb
Well its pouring snow on the
AbAb
outside, but all Im seeing is the
Eb MajorEb
slush.
Eb MajorEb
Looking at the wealth around me,
Bb majorBb
but just thinkin' I aint got much.
Eb MajorEb
Im that man thats prone to worry
AbAb Eb MajorEb
in that far off glory land.
Eb MajorEb
Who do I think Im kidding? No one
Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
cares or understands.
AbAb
With a strong steady tailwind, all I
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
see is pourin' rain.
AbAb
A augmentedA victim of a brutal mindset walks
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
this lonely son of shame.
Eb MajorEb
Because the grass is always
AbAb C minorCm
greener, I will sit here in my pain.
Eb MajorEb
Lookin' at the wealth around me.
AbAb Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
Woe is me, this son of shame.
Eb MajorEb AbAb
And then I start to wonder about all
Eb MajorEb
that Ive been through.
Eb MajorEb
I opened up my eyes and see that
Bb majorBb
every day is new.
Eb MajorEb AbAb
I consider all my ways; the paths
C minorCm
that Ive pursued...
Eb MajorEb AbAb
Man, Im so ashamed as I sit here
Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
with a life misused.
AbAb
With a mountain set before me all I
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
see is victory.
AbAb
But I know theres someone out
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
there and His mind remains on me.
Eb MajorEb
Says the Father over his children, "It
AbAb C minorCm
was for you that I came.
Eb MajorEb
Youre the apple of my eye, son, my
AbAb Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb AbAb
precious son of shame...
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb AbAb Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
...shame...son of shame...shame...son
Eb MajorEb
of shame."
