G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1)
Everywhere I turned the doors were closin'
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)Took every ounce of faith I had to keep on keepin' on
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1)Still I felt like I was only losin'
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) CI (x32010@1)refused then like I do now to let anybody tie me down
