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

And something said then thrown away into the breeze
[Verse 3]
D#m A# B F#
The question on your lips
D#m A# G# C#
The burden of my innocence slips
D#m A# B
I'm searching night as is
D C#
I'm keeping my promise
D#m
I won't feed the storm
G#
I'm a canvas clean
B C#
There's a baby born
[Verse 4]
D#m A# B F#
I am a jungle gym
D#m A# G# C#
Remove your shoes and baby climb in
D#m A# B D
I am a home for men like you
C# D#m
Who chew at the bit for a pony to ride
G# B C#
Til the day grows dim and tomorrow slides by
[Chorus]
F# A#m E B
Something reminded me of a nice encounter Wednesday
D A E B
And something said then thrown away into the breeze
[Bridge]
F# A#m
Darling I won't forget
E B
All the times we spoke of our regrets
D A
And walked back to the lives we left
E B
On days like these
[Outro]
D#m A# B F#
I found a friend in you
D#m A# G# C#
Someone to call when my day was through
D#m A# B
But on this road it's clear
D C#
That nothing is precious
D#m
And nothing comes cheap
G# B C#
In a time spent sucking on a thorn so deep
