[Verse]

E5                  D5            E5          A5
Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain
G5                   F#5                E5                   
You can't know about everything, only pleasure and pain
E5               D5              E5         A5
You wonder why I come here with head to my hands
G5              F#5                E5
Where else can I be cured and the king of your mansion
E5                                  G5
A thorn in your side, a child to protect
               D5
That claims he's free


[Chorus]

D5                                        F#5       A5   
Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven
D5                                             F#5      A5
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection
           G5                           B5     A5      
Darling come quickly, come ease my worried mind

       G5                                    F#5  A5         
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time

[Verse]

E5           D5            E5         A5
I've already made my bed, like it or not
G5                    F#5               E5
As long as there's no regrets I'll be here when the ride stops
E5                                        G5
These comforts to me and these crosses to bear
                D5
With which we live



[Chorus]

D5                                      F#5     A5
Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven
D5                                         F#5  A5
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection
      G5                   B5   A5
Baby, I can't drag you into this mess



I'm the thorn in your side and the child to protect



[Chorus]

And I'm just around the corner, 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
