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

And something said then thrown away into the breeze
[Verse 3]
A#m F F# C#
The question on your lips
A#m F D# G#
The burden of my innocence slips
A#m F F#
I'm searching night as is
A G#
I'm keeping my promise
A#m
I won't feed the storm
D#
I'm a canvas clean
F# G#
There's a baby born
[Verse 4]
A#m F F# C#
I am a jungle gym
A#m F D# G#
Remove your shoes and baby climb in
A#m F F# A
I am a home for men like you
G# A#m
Who chew at the bit for a pony to ride
D# F# G#
Til the day grows dim and tomorrow slides by
[Chorus]

And something said then thrown away into the breeze

C# Fm
Darling I won't forget
B F#
All the times we spoke of our regrets
A E
And walked back to the lives we left
B F#
On days like these
[Outro]
A#m F F# C#
I found a friend in you

Someone to call when my day was through

But on this road it's clear
A G#
That nothing is precious
A#m
And nothing comes cheap
D# F# G#
In a time spent sucking on a thorn so deep
