F#m B D E
[Verse 1]
F#m C# D A
I found a friend in you
F#m C# B E
Someone to call when my day was through
F#m C# D
But on this road it's clear
F E
That nothing is precious
F#m
And nothing comes cheap
B D E
In a time spent sucking on a thorn so deep
[Verse 2]
F#m C# D A
Big daddy on the road
F#m C# B E
The hardest hand that I've ever hold
F#m C# D F
I don't know how long you can keep
E
Beating yourself up
F#m B
And pleading with God for a good night's rest
D E
And a steady job
[Chorus]

And something said then thrown away into the breeze
[Verse 3]
F#m C# D A
The question on your lips
F#m C# B E
The burden of my innocence slips
F#m C# D
I'm searching night as is
F E
I'm keeping my promise
F#m
I won't feed the storm
B
I'm a canvas clean
D E
There's a baby born
[Verse 4]
F#m C# D A
I am a jungle gym
F#m C# B E
Remove your shoes and baby climb in
F#m C# D F
I am a home for men like you
E F#m
Who chew at the bit for a pony to ride
B D E
Til the day grows dim and tomorrow slides by
[Chorus]

And something said then thrown away into the breeze

A C#m
Darling I won't forget
G D
All the times we spoke of our regrets
F C
And walked back to the lives we left
G D
On days like these
[Outro]
F#m C# D A
I found a friend in you

Someone to call when my day was through
F#m C# D
But on this road it's clear
F E
That nothing is precious
F#m
And nothing comes cheap
B D E
In a time spent sucking on a thorn so deep
