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

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