A           D            E
Outside the church bells toll 
A                  D       E
For this wasteland we call home
A               D        E       A  
There's nowhere left to hide or run to

D - E

A                     D        E
Daddy drank real hard late at night
A                       D       E
He'd say without love life's a long fight
A               D   E            A  
l promised I'd win one fight for him , babe

D - E

The storm outside is raging
D                               A            F#m - C# - F#m
I close my eyes, I think about you, babe
              A          F#m - C# - F#m     
I think about you, girl
         D
There's got to be something left worth saving

We've wasted too much time


  A                  D           E
I played the fool I played the soldier
A                   D       E
But my struggling days are over
A
I wanted everything
D          E           A
When all l needed was you, babe

D - E

l didn't understand I was just a young boy
All I wanted was the rich man's play toys
I didn't really care how I got there, baby

Now I've seen a thousand dreams die
In the oil fields, in the coal mines 
No need to wonder why
Nobody's satisfied lately

The storm outside is raging
I close my eyes l think about you, babe
I think about you, girl
There's got to be something left worth saving
We've wasted too much time

And I played the fool I played the soldier
But my struggling days are over
I wanted everything
When all l needed was you, babe 

All I needed was you, girl, yea
All I needed was you, babe
