_ [C] _ I'm a bad [Cm] dream, _ [Ab] _
[G] not a nightmare, [C] I'm too pretty for that.
_ [Ab] _
_ [Gm] _ [C] You see I'm the last thing [Ab] you wanna [G] see come, and [Ab] I'm the reason they say watch your back.
_ [Eb] _ [C] But for so [Cm] long I [Ab] was like a wounded hound, [Cm] back to a chain link [Ab] fence.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [Cm] The world they'll watch [Ab] is just a big [Gm] mean kid, [Cm] poking me through the fence with [Fm] a stick.
_ [Cm] Ain't _ nobody [Ab] born bad, _ [Cm] it takes [Ab] a whole lot of hurt.
[Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] There lies [Ab] one of life's biggest lessons, [C] and got nothing to do with [Ab] deserve.
_ [Gm] _ [F] Just pray, _ [Fm] _
[Ab] _ you've seen [Cm] a lost garden, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [G] it's a cruel world for you.
_ _ It ain't hard to understand, _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Cm] _ you got your sheep, [Ab] _
[Gm] you got your shepherds, you got [Cm] your wolves amongst them.
[G] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ It can be [Ab] hard to tell, [G] _ [Cm] might find a wolf in a shepherd's [Ab] clothes.
_ _ _ [Cm] But now and then [Ab] you're gonna [Eb] find sheep and [C] mumps all in your troubled [Ab] soul.
_ [Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ There's no more [G] folks that's most [C] afraid of the wolves.
_ If you really stop and think, _ _ _ through that time you've seen a wolf [Eb] and a shepherd,
[Cm] you think has killed more [Ab] sheep.
_ [Gm] _ _ [Cm] _ Life is nothing [Ab] can be done, [Gm] _ _ [C] _ it's just the [D] way it goes.
[Gm] _ _ [C] First you get fat, [Ab] then you get [Cm] mean, and there's nothing left but to grow [F] cold.
_ [Eb] _ [Fm] Then pray, _ _ _ [Gm] you've seen a [Cm] lost garden. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ Some will say [Cm]
I've got no [Gm] feeling, no heart and [Cm] surely no shame.
[Fm] _ Truth is that this [Eb] has been with me so long that [Gm] I, I must admit I kinda like the pain.
[Cm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
[Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Cm] _ _ How [C] many encounters you ever had?
_ _ [Cm] Better yet, how many wolves you [Ab] ever seen?
[Eb] _ _ [Cm] You got about as [Ab] much chance of seeing one of [Gm] them [Cm] as you do running into me.
_ [Ab] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [Cm] Still take nothing [G] for granted, [Cm] _ might live on the best block in Beverly [Ab] Hills.
_ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ Be sure you lock up tight at night, you know poor folks ain't got nothing [Ab] to steal.
[Eb] _ _ [Fm] Just pray, [Ab] you've _ [Gm] seen [Cm] a lost garden. _ _
