Intro:
A D A E F#m D A x2
Chorus:
A D A E F#m D A
Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope
A D A E F#m D A
God and medicine take no mercy on him
F#m D A F#m D A
Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat
F#m D A
Enough is enough,
E F#m D A
He's a long way from home
Break:
A D A E F#m D A
Chorus:
A D A E F#m D A
Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool
A D A E F#m D A
Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt
F#m D A F#m D A
I flew far away, as far as I could go
F#m D A
Your time is running out
E F#m D A
And I'm a long way from home
Break:
A D A E F#m D A x2
Chorus:
A D A E F#m D A
Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed
A D A E F#m D A
Holding the pain like you're holding your breath
F#m D A F#m D A
I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone
F#m D A
You're right next to me
E F#m D A
But you're a long way from home
Break:
A D A E F#m D A x2
Chorus:
A D A E F#m D A
Hospital gowns never fit like they should
A D A E F#m D A
We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good
F#m D A F#m D A
More morphine, the last words you moaned
F#m D A
At last I was sure
E F#m D A
That you weren't far away from home
End:
A D A E F#m D A x2
