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

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