Dsus2 
Here on the inside, looking at the outside 

Dsus2 
Losing my memory faster than my pride 

G                Cadd9      G          Dsus2 
Here I am, baby, blind as a bat out of hell 

Dsus2 
Cut me loose of that ball and chain 

Dsus2 
Packed up a glad-bag, hopped on a train 

       G                Cadd9        G     Dsus2 
To the land of the lonely, as far as I can tell 

       A                      G 
I was laughing like a fool on fire 

A                      G 
Candle burning into my hand 

A                        G 
Sitting like a bird on a wire 

         G 
I had to find me a place to stand 


Well, this city's got its poison pens 
And its children in armor, frustrated men 
And women who don't know why they were sent at all 
You might think that we'd had our fill 
And we'd stand up and fight if we just had the will 
If we just a little more time and love or something 
Oh, we're all laughing like fools on fire 
Standing burning into our hand 
Sitting like birds on a wire 
I got to find me a place to stand 

Cadd9   G/B          G       D 
Foolish hearts don't have no rest 

         Cadd9       G/B              G      D 
From the moment your head leaves your mama's chest 

         Cadd9      G/B      G             D 
From the moment you hold the child in your hands 

         Cadd9                        G/B                A 
From the moment you think that you'll find your place to stand 

Little bit older, years go by 
Squeezing that stone, but my well's still dry 
Here I am, here I am 
Oh, I'm laughing like a fool on fire 
Candle burning into my hand 
Sitting like a bird on a wire 
I had to find me a place to stand
