DmI'm (xx0231@1)all washed out by the side of the road.
BbBroken (x1333x@1)bones Matilda left a note and a rose.

DmSo (xx0231@1)I'm just burning all around.
All the miles on the road.
BbAnd (x1333x@1)I'm never going back.
And I'm never going home.
DmI've (xx0231@1)been gone too long.
I've been less right than wrong.

FAnd (133211@1)I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
         BbUntil (x1333x@1)it consumed the walls and roof of this house.
            FUntil (133211@1)all I remember was burning away.

DmJust (xx0231@1)trying to find a better life for me and my own.
Bb (x1333x@1)                                    F (133211@1)  
Just some rest for these tired working fingers.

DmBut (xx0231@1)nobody's ever going to tear you away.
          BbYou (x1333x@1)gotta figure it out boys.
                               DmIt's (xx0231@1)all for the rain, and the fools in the night, and the heat in the day.

                          FWell (133211@1)don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry.
                BbCross (x1333x@1)your hard heart and hope to die.
                     FDon't (133211@1)you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time.
