Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope

God and medicine take no mercy on him
Em7      C9  G          Em7        C9  G
Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat
Em7    C9 G
Enough is enough,

He's a long way from home

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
Em7    C9  G        Em7   C9       G
I flew far away, as far as I could go
     Em7     C9      G
Your time is running out
    D     Em7  C9       G
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
Em7      C9        G       Em7  C9     G
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

Break:
G C9 G D/F# Em7 C9 G  x2

Chorus:
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
