intro: E MajorE A augmentedA X 2
A augmentedA E MajorE
Once when I was daily growing
A augmentedA E MajorE
Dressed in red from head to toe
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
You were all the thoughts I?s knowin?
A augmentedA BB
The sun did shine, no care the season
A augmentedA E MajorE
While I learned my 1-2-3?s and
BB A augmentedA BB
You fell in to teach me treason
A augmentedA BB E MajorE A augmentedA
Now I spend my each day busy, jumping on the monkey show
E MajorE A augmentedA
Jumping on the monkey show
BB A augmentedA BB
Searching for a face I know
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
And I just walk for hours down the red brick march of
A augmentedA
Market Street
E MajorE A augmentedA
Of Market Street
BB A augmentedA
And spend my each days in repeat
E MajorE BB
Lady she?s alright with me
F#F# A augmentedA
done borrowed all my empathy
E MajorE BB
and you know she got the best of me
F#F# A augmentedA
'cause she's not lyin' next to me.
A augmentedA E MajorE
And all things fine, sweet day beginning
A augmentedA E MajorE
I got up and fell right in and
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
Climbed up to where you was living
A augmentedA E MajorE
And you stood in the backdoor yawning
A augmentedA E MajorE
In that cruel way that leads me on and
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
You're the reason I wake each morning
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
And sunshine plays the puddles through the mornings
A augmentedA
Evenings afternoons
E MajorE A augmentedA
Evenings afternoons
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
I count my thoughts with coffee-spoons
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
And something reeks of heaven 'neath the highway
A augmentedA
Where the hobos sleep
E MajorE A augmentedA
Where the hobos sleep
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
And laugh about the pains I keep
E MajorE BB
And lady, she's a friend of mine
F#F# A augmentedA
'Cause I know how to take my time
E MajorE BB
But I can't say that without lyin'
F#F# A augmentedA
So I'll try not to try next time
Bridge:
BB E MajorE
And I ain?t got no one to bear my burden
BB E MajorE
Though I could pay with sips of wine
G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Old men like me just tuck their shirts in
E MajorE BB
Too busy running out, though we
E MajorE BB
Do our best to do without still
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
Too busy running out of time
E MajorE BB
Well lady I can't take no rest
F#F# A augmentedA
With all this weight across my chest
E MajorE BB
And yesterday I loved the best
F#F# A augmentedA
Dun' borrowed too much happiness
