Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope
G C9 G D/F# Em7 C9 G

Chorus:
G C9 G D/F# Em7 C9 G
Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool
G C9 G D/F# Em7 C9 G
Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt

Your time is running out

And I'm a long way from home

Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed
G C9 G D/F# Em7 C9 G
Holding the pain like you're holding your breath

I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone
Em7 C9 G
You're right next to me
D Em7 C9 G
But you're a long way from home

G C9 G D/F# Em7 C9 G
Hospital gowns never fit like they should
G C9 G D/F# Em7 C9 G
We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good
Em7 C9 G Em7 C9 G
More morphine, the last words you moaned
Em7 C9 G
At last I was sure
D Em7 C9 G
That you weren't far away from home
End:
G C9 G D/F# Em7 C9 G x2
