If you want to play it like they do on the recording, tune your guitar down a half 
step and transpose these chords up a half step.


        Eb5
Lookin' past the edge of moonlight,
       Ab5               Eb5
Hoping for the break of day.
Eb5
Seein' only cracks in sidewalks, not 
    Bb5
the paved city way.
        Eb5
Lookin' down this road to glory in a 
Ab5              Eb5
car designed to fail.
Eb5
Breathin' cold winds of freedom 
         Bb5              Eb5
while my mind remains in jail. 
          
            (2x)

       Ab5
With a strong steady tailwind, all I 
Eb5             Bb5
see is pourin' rain.
  Ab5
A victim of a brutal mindset walks
     Eb5            Bb5
this lonely son of shame.
            Eb5
Because the grass is always 
                Ab5             C5
greener, I will sit here in my pain.
Eb5 
Lookin' at the wealth around me. 
       Ab5       Bb5     Eb5
Woe is me, this son of shame.


          Eb5
Well its pouring snow on the 
                     Ab5
outside, but all Im seeing is the 
Eb5
slush.
Eb5
Looking at the wealth around me, 
         Bb5
but just thinkin' I aint got much.
         Eb5
Im that man thats prone to worry 
        Ab5            Eb5
in that far off glory land.
Eb5
Who do I think Im kidding? No one 
Bb5            Eb5
cares or understands.

Ab5
With a strong steady tailwind, all I 
Eb5             Bb5
see is pourin' rain.
    Ab5
A victim of a brutal mindset walks
     Eb5            Bb5
this lonely son of shame.
            Eb5
Because the grass is always 
                Ab5             C5
greener, I will sit here in my pain.
Eb5 
Lookin' at the wealth around me. 
       Ab5       Bb5     Eb5
Woe is me, this son of shame.

    Eb5                           Ab5
And then I start to wonder about all 
               Eb5
that Ive been through.
Eb5
I opened up my eyes and see that 
Bb5
every day is new.
     Eb5                     Ab5
I consider all my ways; the paths 
            C5 
that Ive pursued...
Eb5                      Ab5 
Man, Im so ashamed as I sit here 
       Bb5      Eb5
with a life misused.

       Ab5 
With a mountain set before me all I 
Eb5      Bb5
see is victory.
      Ab5
But I know theres someone out 
              Eb5              Bb5
there and His mind remains on me.
         Eb5                
Says the Father over his children, "It 
    Ab5             C5
was for you that I came.
           Eb5
Youre the apple of my eye, son, my
Ab5       Bb5     Eb5 Ab5 
precious son of shame...
   Eb5  Bb5         Eb5 Ab5   Eb5 Bb5 
...shame...son of shame...shame...son
   Eb5
of shame."
