[F#m] [G#m] I was listening to a [F#m] story.
I got a tale to [A] tell.
About a man who gets [F#m] caught somewhere.
[C#] Between heaven and hell.
And the man's [D] languish.
Guess you could [A] say.
[E]
[D] There [A] ain't [C#] no reason [F#m] why.
Now when I was a young boy.
I learned to play the [A] guitar.
It was me and [F#m] an old Japanese.
Down at the local [C#] bar.
Yeah I lost [D] my childhood.
But I'm a [A] man of trade.
[E]
[D] There [A] ain't [C#] no [F#m] reason why.
Then I found a man who wanted me.
He was hard [A] and slow.
I never lost [F#m] my mind through it all.
Yeah she took [F] control.
[C#]
She gave me [D] a baby child.
Then she took it [A] away.
[E]
[D] There [A] ain't [C#] no [F#m] easy way.
[Bm] I prayed to the father.
To the moon [F#m] and the sun.
I [Bm] prayed to anyone and anything.
That could get the [F#m] job done.
I hear different [Bm] voices.
[D] But the [A] words are the [E] same.
[D] Said there [F#m] ain't [E] no [C#] easy way.
[A#m]
Well I [F#m] went to this dump.
See what my trouble might [E] [Am] be.
I was staring [F#m] at the bottom of his shoe.
While he was [C#] looking at me.
We both sat [Bm] there in silence.
[D]
What I [A] wanted to say.
[E] I [F#m] wanted to say.

In my [A] graveyard stand.
[Am]
Trying to think of something [F#m] good to say.
I was no [C#] good man.
Please do [D] me a favor.
Won't you ride [A] on my grave.
