                        G                                                                                              C                                            G  
You taught me to distrust them with that cold look in your eyes
          G                                                                              D7  
You told me not to love them but I knew that wasn't right
                        Em                 G  
You were wronged, wronged
          C                              G                                                    D7                                              Em  
How could I have ignored the way they mistreated you back then
        C                                 G                                                    D                                                                                    Em            G  
to find you here trying to clear your head of all these misconceptions
G                                                                                      C                                      G  
She wants to be alone for now, at least until she finds
     G                                                                                 D7  
a better way to take the days one minute at a time
                          Em         G  
Now she's gone, gone
                        C                                              G                                                              D7                         Em  
from the stealing eyes that run these streets, she's back in her hometown
     C                            G                                                 D7                                                                                 Em            G  
I figured I'd returned to mine by now, but I know i'll come around
G                                                                                                 C                                    G  
They don't seem to notice things that I can't hold inside
G                                                                                 D                                         D7  
but it makes the days okay when we can drink and smile
                                Em         G         C  
It's been a long, long road
                                             G                                            D7                                            Em  
down which we've stumbled and I've used more crutches than
C                                              G              D7                                                                                                 Em            G    G7  
times I've been an honest friend, and to them I?ll be forever in debt
C            G              B7+  
Where have I been
          C                                 D7                                 Em  
And should I even try to go back home
C  G                    B7+  
I feel the wind
                                                                C         C9  
pushing me pulling me around
                                G  
rattling my bones
G                                                                              C                                    G  
Now my nightmares outweigh any bouts of confidence
G                                                                                         D7  
I try not to doubt the thought of looking through the lens
        Em         G  
of song, song
        C                                         G                                                            D7                                 Em  
to find out why the days and nights have us in this tug of war
          C                                                                    G                    D7  
and what the hell are we still fighting for
        Em                                    G  
with fingertips grown sore
             C                                            G                                                 D7  
from fighting blind to stop the wheels of time
                                                     D7                         Em         G    C9    G  
from running this poor boy out of line
G                                                                                                      C                                              G  
Were they right, should I have tried to keep face in their game
          G                                                                                            D7  
Our parents taught that we all ought to respond well to shame
                             Em                      G  
but we're strong, we are strong
        C                                              G                                         D7                                    Em  
in knowing there's no one to blame but us and we can't love
        C                                                 G                                    D7  
if we throw each other underneath the bus
                     C                                      G                                                                                      Em  
for the blunders of our mothers and the blood-run laws of vengeful fathers
             C                            G                                         D7  
this pedigree of lies has blinded you and me alike
                                                                                                                Em            G  
well here's to hoping time will shed some light
             C    G            C9    Em            G  
Wohoho...
