Verse
Fb
Hold in my breath-not taking a step
Am
The good church has closed its doors on me
Fb
God don't like my dirty feet
Fb
Burnin' the lawn-everyone's gone
Am
Ain't no BBQ going on today
Fb
I drink my dinner in the shade
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Days & days go by
Children laughin'
Fb
Still I don't smile at all
A
Mary's calling to me
C#m
“Can't you see what I see”
A Fb Cb
She would never let me down
[Chorus]
Fb
It's been a long time at the bottom
C#m
I spend a lot of time way down there
A
It's been a long time at the bottom
Cb Fb
I don't know how I made it here
[Verse 2]
Fb
Been livin' a lie-my kisses are dry
Am
I got No where else left to run
Fb
My love is blind deaf and dumb
Fb
Heaven can't wait-to lock up the gate
Am
Tell me that I never could be long
Fb
I had my chance but got it wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Days & days go by
Children laughin'
Fb
Still I don't smile at all
A
Mary's calling to me
C#m
“Can't you see what I see”
A Fb Cb
She would never let me down
[Chorus]
