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

Days & days go by
Children laughin'

Still I don't smile at all
