Verse I:
G# F#
I leave my thinking and my family at home

To work the timber till my arms get numb
F C#
I will be gone some day
F C#
All my dreams and all my pain
Verse II:
G# F#
Those twisted visions of your own home town

Those countless workers with their heads bowed down
F C#
And I can see myself
F C#
Cleaning gardens at that old hotel
Pre-Chorus:
D#
And I want to give you everything you deserve
C# G#
And relieve you of those pressures that you feel
D#
And as the cold comes and covers the minds
C# D# Fm
I want to know that your body is real
Fm C# G#
It's dark in the day and black in the night

I got no money but I'll be alright
Chorus:
A#m G# D# C#
Give me a call and I'll work for a number

Them boys up the street they would steal for their hunger
A#m G# F#
What did you do with their lives
Verse III: (Same chords as previous verses)
G# F#
I pick the splinters from my fingers to find

How many worries on my days and mind

So I can hold my own

The real reason why man must grow
Pre-Chorus:
D#
I want to give you everything you deserve
C# G#
And relieve you of those pressures that you take

We will discover what the music can make

And all my mind knows we face

I'm only telling us to leave this place

Oh play me a song and I'll pay you in liquor

One day the words I'll speak

Won't mean nothing to me
No
