[Verse 1]
Am E F C
I found a friend in you
Am E D G
Someone to call when my day was through
Am E F
But on this road it's clear
G# G
That nothing is precious
Am
And nothing comes cheap
D F G
In a time spent sucking on a thorn so deep
[Verse 2]
Am E F C
Big daddy on the road
Am E D G
The hardest hand that I've ever hold
Am E F G#
I don't know how long you can keep
G
Beating yourself up
Am 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]
Am E F C
The question on your lips
Am E D G
The burden of my innocence slips
Am E F
I'm searching night as is
G# G
I'm keeping my promise
Am
I won't feed the storm
D
I'm a canvas clean
F G
There's a baby born
[Verse 4]
Am E F C
I am a jungle gym
Am E D G
Remove your shoes and baby climb in
Am E F G#
I am a home for men like you
G Am
Who chew at the bit for a pony to ride
D F G
Til the day grows dim and tomorrow slides by
[Chorus]
C Em A# F
Something reminded me of a nice encounter Wednesday
G# D# A# F
And something said then thrown away into the breeze
[Bridge]
C Em
Darling I won't forget
A# F
All the times we spoke of our regrets
G# D#
And walked back to the lives we left
A# F
On days like these
[Outro]
Am E F C
I found a friend in you
Am E D G
Someone to call when my day was through
Am E F
But on this road it's clear
G# G
That nothing is precious
Am
And nothing comes cheap
D F G
In a time spent sucking on a thorn so deep
