Introduction:
Am G
As I started down the street one day
Am G C
A man came up to me, and he did say
C F
You can't spend your time all alone
C G
I said, what do you think you know
Am G
In the winter on my discontent
Am G C
Solace came and solace quickly went
C F
So I tried to settle down
C G
In some long forgotten town
Am G
But I just could not escape myself
Am G C
I probably could have used a little help
C F
But as usual I refused
C G
'Cause help to me always just
Am F
It felt like abuse
Am G
It felt like abuse
Am G
So I put myself up on a cross
Am G C
I made some noise, but could not.. get across
C F
No one could hear all my cries
C G
So I cut the rope and apologized
Am G
For all the damage I had done
Am G C
'Cause I was just a friend to.. everyone
C F
Who just did not know right from wrong
C G
Which makes it easier to.. get along
Am G
When your feeling real low down
Am G C
And kinda tired of just.. hanging around
C F
In the town of Caroline
C G
I walked up and down those
Am F
Those power lines
Am G
Those power lines
Am G
Someone's hiding underneath the stairs
Am G C
I try to tell myself that.. no-ones there
C F
But in the real country dark
C G
Someone is dying under..neath the stars
Am G
So I could just say fair thee well my friend
Am G C
But just in case we never.. meet again
C F
I'm hiding something in the ground
C G
And only you know where it
Am F
It can be found
Am G
It can be found,oh yeah
