VERSE 1::
                               G                     Bm
I spent most of my life outside in the driving rain
                         Em                               Am7
I was only trying to get (Em) by with some of life's amenities
      G
Well, nothing's free
      Bm          Am7           G/B       B7       C
I got more than I bargained for, now it's plain to see
  G/B             Am        G          C
I can't depend on love to defend me

VERSE 2::
                             G                     Bm
It took most of my time to do what never was done
                           Em                              Am7
I was on the outside of an inside kind of love that now is gone
     G
Come right or wrong
       Bm      Am7              G/B     B7   C
It was laid to rest that way, I hate to be unkind
   G/B            Am                  G
Pretending is for strangers who don't know you


INSTRUMENTAL:: F    C    F    G  E7  C


VERSE 3::
                               G                     Bm
I spent most of my life outside in the driving rain
                                 Em                              Am7
I was in some one-horse town just waiting for a plane to take me back
    G
Now where's that at
  Bm                   Am7             G/B      B7     C
I paid the price, well ain't that nice, knowing I'm so free
  G/B             Am        G
I can't depend on love to defend me
Bm                Am7           G/B       B7       C
I got more than I bargained for, now it's plain to see
  G/B             Am        G
