Capo 3rd Fret 


G5                  F5            C5          G5 
Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain 
G5                   F5                G5                    
You can't know about everything, only pleasure and pain 
G5             F5                C5         G5 
You wonder why I come here with head to my hands 
G5             F5                  G5 
Where else can I be cured and the king of your mansion 
G5              F5                   C5 
A thorn in your side, a child to protect 
C5               Bb5 
That claims he's free 
Bb5                      D5 
Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven 
Bb5                         D5 
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection 
D5           C5                    Bb5 
Darling come quickly, come ease my mind 
       C5                                       Bb5 
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time 


G5           F5            C5         G5 
I've already made my bed, like it or not 
G5                 F5                  G5 
As long as there's no regrets I'll be here when the ride stops 
G5                F5                       C5 
These comforts to me and these crosses to bear 
C5            Bb5 
With which we live 
Bb5                      D5 
Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven 
Bb5                         D5 
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection 
        C5                       Bb5 
Baby, I can't drag you into this mess 

I'm the thorn in your side and the child to protect 
And I'm just around the comer, half a mile to heaven 
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection 
Darling come quickly, come ease my worried mind 
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time
