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

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