(Verse 1)
C5                  A5      F5            D5 
We carried you in our arms on Independence Day
Bb5                          F5         C5  
 And now you'd throw us all aside and put us all away  
                                  A5        F5                 D5
Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat a father so?  
Bb5                F5                 C5 
 To wait upon him hand and foot and always tell him "No"

(Chorus)
E5             A5  
 Tears of rage, tears of grief  
F5                 C5
 Why must I always be the thief?  
E5                             A5
 Come to me now, you know we're so low
F5            C5    F5 C5
 And life is brief 

(Verse 2)
It was all very painless
When you went out to receive  
All that false instruction
Which we never could believe  
And now the heart is filled with gold
As if it was a purse  
But, oh, what kind of love is this
Which goes from bad to worse?

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
We pointed you the way to go
And scratched your name in sand
Though you just thought it was nothing more
Than a place for you to stand  
I want you to know that while we watched
You discovered no one would be true  
And I myself was among
The ones who thought
It was just a childish thing to do

(Chorus)
