Introdução:

                   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           B7M 
Where have I been
         C                         D7                         Em 
And should I even try to go back home
 C  G               B7M 
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...
