[G] [D] Oh, let's leave [C] the heartache away [G] While [D] he dreams [C] about a yesterday
[G] [D] Cause he's had so [C] many couples wait
[A] Oh, he cares [C] about you somewhere to let you [G] sense tomorrow
Old [D] man said some [C] things about his home [G] [D] Doesn't matter [C] cause he's all alone
[G] [D] What he gives to [C] get back on his own
[A] He birthed his body [C] from his womb And it gives no [G] trust to his heart
[A] He sips in his one moon [C] shack alone But it provides no [G] consolation

[G] [D] [G] What a [C] shame, his time is nearing [G] Life won't let him [C] sleep, the skies are clearing

It's no news, he [C] goes looking around While [A] things are changing
No [C] more
