[G] _ [A] _ [Em] I woke up this morning _ [A] _ [Em] lying under my bed [A] _ [Em] with house bells in my [A] ears, [Em] _ runaway truck
in my head.
_ [Am] I tried to get off the [G] floor [Am] but my feet weren't anything.
_ [Em] I tried to open
my eyes _ but the light was too bright to see.
_ _ _ Last night _ [A] [Em] I left my loving woman, _ told her
to hit the road, [A] _ [Em] find herself another man.
_ _ [Am] I don't know why it took so [Em] long, _ [Am] don't know
what went wrong.
[Bm] _ [A] _ [Em] I only know this dish long and I feel good all along.
_ [Bm] _ Standing on [B] my
own two feet, [C] _ taking [D] my troubles in [Em] the street. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ All [G] those years, _ [Am] _ all [Em] those nights, _ [C] _ they [G] keep
falling through [Am] your fingers _ like a handful [G] of sand.

Now that you're gone, _ _ _ finally speak
my mind. _ _
_ Never told you too much, kept everything inside.
_ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _
I wish I had a home, _ [Em]
but I held my
cigarette baby, _ like a dog holds a bone.
