Introduction:
E
I wake in the night and I want to write about what we went through
A B
I've been lying still for weeks
E
Got this new piano, and its older than my dad
A B
But it sings the way I think so I stay at home and play
E
I get in and out some of these days
A B
I'd rather swing below this old red tree
E A B E A B
But I get tired, yeah I've seen too much
E
I aint got a dollar to my name but full of stories I am
A B
I ramble on about love and her and her
E
There were two of them, one left and one died
A B E
One year in the life, you know I lost everything
A B
But I found a new home in the women I belong to
E A B E A B
They make me tired, yeah I've seen too much
E
I aint never been so alone and I've never felt so cold
A B
And i swear that I want love more than I want gold
E
I'd trade it all for one more story with you
A B
Or one more kiss with her, one more year innocent
E
And there was a time not so long ago when I knew I had the world
A B
Oh I held it close, close enough to let me go
E A B E
It made me tired, yeah I've seen too much
