Well, I never asked to [D#m] be born
No, but I [B] carry on my [F#] sad [C#] old songs like the year before
And when I pray, Lord it's [D#m] for freedom
To come [D#m] and carry [B]
me on [D#m] broken [C#] dreams
To a [F#] world worth a living in
[B] You said, kid, I feel like I'm going [A#] nowhere
[D#m]
And I've been beaten down like a rusted railroad [B] spike
You said, all this town's full of liars
[F#] And, Lord, I've been [D#m] defeated
But you stay here, kid, and [C#] you keep this town [F#] alive

[C#] [F#]
Well, I try to [F#]
be a sincere [D#m] man
Someone [B] to hold when life's in [C#] control without your hands
But, Lord, I know I've let you [D#m]
down
I'll always walk [B]
away at the same [C#] slow pace staring at [F#] the ground
[B]
You said, kid, I feel like I'm [A#] going nowhere
[D#m] And I've been beaten down like a rusted [B] railroad spike
You said, all this town's full of liars
And, Lord, I've been [D#m] defeated
But you stay here, kid, [C#] and you keep this [F#] town alive
[D#m]
[B] [C#] [F#]
[B]
[C#] [F#]
[F#] And the big privates down in Music [D#m] City
Were all [B] incomplete, it's what's [C#] on the street that gave the [F#] music meaning
So as for me, Lord, [D#m] I'll take them or leave them
We'll all [B] masquerade a funeral [C#] parade for some [F#]
rich guy's children
You [B] said, kid, I feel like [F#] I'm going [A#] nowhere
[D#m]
And I've been beaten down like a rusted [B] railroad spike
You said, all this town's full of actors
[F#]
And, I think [D#m] I'm a-leaving
[B] But you stay here, kid, [C#] and you keep this [F#] town alive
Well, I never asked to [D#m] be born
No, but I [B] carry on with my sad old [C#] songs like the [F#] year before
And when I'm gone, I'll be gone
No, but I [B] carry on my [F#] sad [C#] old songs like the year before
