I’m

G

tired,

D

I picked up

D/C

steam for a while, but I’m

G/B

broken,

And I’m

C

rough around the edges, and just a little too out

G

spoken.

I’m in

D

trouble all the time,

D/C

even though I’m trying to do the

G/B

right

thing

In the

C

eye of the storm, in the middle of the thunder and the

Cm

lightning

Chorus

G

It happens all the

Em

time, a simple twist of

C

fate, The things that cross my

D

mind,

I

D7

think but I won’t

G

say… Just tell me I’m for

Em

given, For leaving you be

C

hind,

And find the strength to

Cm

let me go, cuz

D

I’m

G

tired

D

And even though I’m

G

tired,

D

I wake up

D/C

early in the morning, then i

G/B

drift

off

C

i tell myself again today i think i’m finally gonna

G

lift

off

And from my

D

rocket to the stars, i’m

D/C

never looking back because i’m

G/B

pissed

off

That when I

C

fly too close to sun, I guess my wings are gonna

Cm

drip

off

Chorus

G

It happens all the

Em

time, a simple twist of

And find the strength to

Em

Hush now baby

C

D

Mama’s gonna sing you a lullaby

D

I’m

G

tired,

D

I kept my

D/C

faith for a while but its

G/B

jaded

C

I took my lumps with a smile, but I’ve

G

faded

D

So I’ll turn my

D/C

eyes to the sun and I’ll

G/B

drift off…

C

Lift

off!…

Lyrics and Chords [+]

Well she’s

G

thirty-seven years to

Cadd9

day.

G

Cadd9

And

G

all she ever seemed to

Cadd9

say…

G

Cadd9

She said

Em

”I…

C

I could have

G

been someone,” “You know

D/F#

but

Em

I…

C

I was

G

staring into the

D

sun.”

Chorus

AND SHE SAID,

Em

”YOU COULD FIND THE

C

HARD WAY OF DOING

G

ANYTHING”

Em

”YOU COULD TRY TO

C

MAKE IT ON YOUR

G

O—

D

OWN”

AND SHE SAID

Em

”YOU COULD FIND THE

C

HARD WAY OF DOING

G

ANYTHING”

C

”BUT YOU MAY NEVER

G

MAKE IT ALL A

D

LONE.”

So she

G

ordered up another

Cadd9

round,

G

Cadd9

And she said,

G

”Well I don’t mean to bring you

Cadd9

down.”

G

Cadd9

“But on the

Em

road that we must

C

travel.., take

G

care.”

“Before the

EM

yellow brick turns to

C

gravel, You got to

G

hurry up and take your

D

share!”

Chorus

Bridge

C

”WHATEVER YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE, LEAVE A

G

TRAIL!”

“DON’T YOU KNOW,

B7

SOMETIMES SOME THINGS IN LIFE, WELL YOU

C

JUST CAN’T HELP!”

G/B

Am7

”BUT I SEE BIG THINGS IN YOUR

D

FUTURE,”

D7

“ONCE YOU

Am7

SHINE YOUR LIGHT DOWN THE LINE THAT

D

SUITS

YA’…

D7

B7

Am7

…”OR YOU CAN FIND THE HARD WAY!”

So she

G

lit another ciga

Cadd9

rette,

G

Cadd9

And through her

G

smoke came a passion I’ll

Cadd9

never

forget.

G

Cadd9

She said, “De

Em

si—

Cadd9

ire… is an

G

Angel,.”

D/F#

”And

Em

Pri-

C

ide is such a lonely mis

G

take.”

D/F#

”In

Ambitio-

on… lie’s a

G/B

”When

Am7

loneliness

D

… is the price you

pay!”

Em

”YOU COULD TRY TO

AND SHE SAID
