Start Jamming...
We [Bbm]
carried you in our [Bb] arms on [Eb] Independence Day
[Gb] And now you throw [N] us all aside, [F] yeah
[Bb] Put us all away
Oh, what dear daughter
[Bbm] Neath [Bb] the sun
Could treat a father so
To wait [Gb] upon him hand and foot, yeah
[Bbm] Always tell him no
[Bb]
Tears of rage
Tears of [Gb] grief
Why must I [Ebm] always [Bb] be the thief?
Come to me now, you know we're so alone
And [Eb] life is brief
[Gm]
[Bbm] We pointed you the way to go
And scratched your name in sand
[Fm] But you just thought it was nothing more
Than a place for you to [Bb] stand
But I want you to know
That [G] what we once did discover
No [N] one would be true
That I myself was [Db] among the ones who [Fm] thought
[Bbm] It was just a childish thing to do
Tears of [F] [G] rage
Tears of grief
Why must I always [Bb] be the thief?
[Bbm] Come to me now, you know [B] we're [Bbm] so alone
[Bb] And life is [Eb] brief
[G] It was all so very painless
When you went out to receive
[N] All that false instruction
Which we never could believe
[Bb] And now the heart is filled with [G] gold
As if it was a purse
But oh, what kind [N] of love is
[Bb] this
Which goes from bad to [Bbm] worse?
[G]
Tears of rage
Tears of [Eb] grief
[Gb] Why must I [Bb] always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know we're so alone
And life is brief
