Am G
I try and feel the sunshine
F E
You bring the rain
Am G
You try and hold me down
F E
With your complains
Am G
You cry and moan and complain
F E
You whine an tear
Am G
Up to my neck in sorrow
F E
The touch you bring
Am C D
You don't just step inside to 14 years
Am C D
So hard to keep my own head... That's what I say
Am C
You know... I've been the beggar
D
I've played the thief
Am C D
I was the dog... They all tried to beat
Am G
But it's been 14 years of silence
D
It's been 14 years of pain
Am G
It's been 14 years that are gone forever
D
And I'll never have again
Am G
Your stupid girlfreinds tell you
F E
That I'm to blame
Am G
Well, they're all used-up has-beens
F E
Out of the game
Am G
This time I'll have the last word
F E
You hear what I say
Am G
I tried to see it your way
F E
It won't work today
Am C D
You just don't step inside to 14 years

So hard to keep my own head... That's what I say

Hangin' on your street

Bullshit and contemplation
F E
Gossip's their trade
Am G
If they knew half the real truth
F E
What would they say
Am G
Well, I'm past the point of concern

It's time to play

These last 4 years of madness

Sure put me straight

Don't get back 14 years

In just one day

So hard to keep my own head

Just go away
