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

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