[Intro ]
D  D7sus/C   G   D 
D  D7sus/C   G   D 

 
D                     D 
Sun beats down on his back drawn tight, 
D7sus/C                            G     D 
Salt stings his eyes and blurs his sight, 
           D                D 
Drives the shovel down with all his might, 
       D7sus/C                            G     D 
As the blisters mount in the fading light . . .. 
 

 
D                         D 
Frame still strong, early hint of grey, 
        D7sus/C                               G     D 
Not the body that aches at the end of the day . ., 
D                       D 
Foor follows foot as he makes his way, 
D7sus/C                            G     D 
Chokes on the dust as I hear him say . . .: 
 

 
D                C 
Spend a lifetime searching for my find, 
       G            F      C D 
Whats left but the things I miss, 
D                C 
Spent a lifetime searching for my find, 
        G            F      C D 
Nothing left but the things I miss.

Ooh aah ee eeh,

 Ooh aah ee eeh. 

Instrumental 
D  D7sus/C   G   D 

 
    D                D 
She sits at her desk things piled high, 
D7sus/C                              G     D 
Works through lunch just to pass the time, 
D                       D 
Minutes into hours into days gone by, 
D7sus/C                              G     D 
Feeling kinda not on and not knowing why, 
 

 
D             D 
Simpler times simpler things, 
         D7sus/C                         G     D 
When the future held what promise brings . . ., 
D                            D 
Stares out the window as the telephone rings, 
D7sus/C                                     G     D 
Catch in her throat where the bitterness stings . . ., 
    D 
And she says: 
 

 
D                C 
Spend a lifetime searching for my find, 
       G            F      C D 
Whats left but the things I miss, 
D                C 
Spent a lifetime searching for my find, 
        G            F      C D 
Nothing left but the things I miss.

D                      D 
So full of promise but couldnt be told, 
     D7sus/C                            G     D 
Even superman falls if he jumps too bold . . ., 
D                     D 
World calls time in a voice so cold, 
D7sus/C                                    G     D 
Leaves a face too young with eyes much too old, 
 

 
      D                   D 
So he sits at the bar and knocks one back, 
   D7sus/C                            G     D 
He calls for another and chases with Jack, 
D               D 
Lights a smoke, fingers the pack, 
D7sus/C                             G     D 
Calls for another and adds to the stack, 
    D 
And he says:

Nothing left but the things I miss.
