It's been such a long long time since we loved each other but our hearts were true. 
E E11 E       E7 E E7             Asus2 A      E   NC 
One time, for one brief day, I was the man for you.  
A9                         Aadd4                    A Asus2               E  
Last night, I heard you talkin' in your sleep saying things you shouldn't say,  
E E11 E       E7 E E7           Asus2 A      E   NC 
Oh baby, you just might have to go to jail someday. 

Verse 2:
 
A9               Aadd4               A Asus2        E 
Is there a place we can go, is there anybody we can see? 
E E11 E     E7 E E7          Asus2 A      E   NC  
Maybe, it's the same for you as it is for me. 
A9               Aadd4           A Asus2             E      E E11 E  
I ain't seen my family in twenty years.  That ain't easy to understand. 
E E11 E                  E7 E E7         Asus2 A                   E    NC   
They may be dead by now? I lost track of 'em after they lost their land. 

Verse 3: 

A9                Aadd4             A Asus2               E 
Shake it up baby, twist and shout, you know what it's all about. 
E E11 E                            
What are you doin' out there in the sun anyway?   
E7 E E7                     Asus2 A                E   NC 
Don't you know, the sun can burn your brains right out. 
A9                Aadd4          A Asus2             E  
My enemy crashed into the dust.  Stopped dead in his tracks.  
E E11 E                      E7 E E7      
And he lost his lust, he was run down hard. 
Asus2 A                               E                    NC  
And he broke apart, he died in shame, he had an iron heart. 

Verse 4:
 
A9     Aadd4           A Asus2  E 
I wear dark glasses to cover my eyes.   
E E11 E   E7 E E7        Asus2 A         E    NC  
There are secrets in 'em that i can't disguise. 
E E11 E        E7 E E7        Asus2 A          E    NC  
Come back baby if I hurt your feelings, I apologise.  
A9                 Aadd4                     A Asus2               E  
Two trains running side by side, forty miles wide down the eastern line. 
E E11 E                E7 E E7           Asus2 A                    E    NC  
You don't have to go, I just came to you because you're a friend of mine. 

Verse 5:
 
A9                Aadd4               A Asus2                   E  
I think that when my back was turned, the whole world behind me burned. 
E E11 E            E7 E E7              Asus2 A         E    NC  
It's been a while, since we walked down that long, long aisle. 
A9                 Aadd4            A Asus2                         E  
We cried on a cold and frosty morn, we cried because our souls were torn. 
E E11 E            E7 E E7           Asus2 A         E    NC    
So much for tears, so much for these long and wasted years.
