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

The question on your lips

The burden of my innocence slips

I won't feed the storm

I'm a canvas clean

There's a baby born
[Verse 4]
Fm C C# G#
I am a jungle gym
Fm C A# D#
Remove your shoes and baby climb in
Fm C C# E
I am a home for men like you

Who chew at the bit for a pony to ride

Til the day grows dim and tomorrow slides by

Darling I won't forget

All the times we spoke of our regrets

And walked back to the lives we left

On days like these

And nothing comes cheap
