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

Days & days go by
Children laughin'

Still I don't smile at all
