_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ There is a long hard road [D] that follows far [C] behind me
_ [G] _ _ And it's so cold I'm about [A] to die _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] Chasing a dream around the world
Has [D] got me feeling [C] _ down
_ [G] _ _
Though it [Dm] used to make [C] me high
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
Looking [D] for answers
_ _ [Am] _
_ Searching [Em] for the truth _ _
[C] _ _ In [G] an ocean [Am]
of lies _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ Trying to find [G] a reason _
[Am] To make the whole [Em] thing right
_ [C] _ Can make [D] you old before [G] your time _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ When I was younger
I [D] thought I'd [C] rule the world
_ _ [G] _ _ It was an oyster at [Am] my feet
[C] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ Dancing to my own drum
[D] Fishing _ [C] out the pearls
_ [G] _ Yes, I would [Dm] have been much more [C] _ discreet _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ I've lived a [D] _ lifetime
_ [Am] _ Acting out [Em] a part
_ _ [C] _ _ That's [Bm] been a long [Am] uphill climb _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ Now all [G] the things
That [Am] used to mean so much [Em] to me
_ [C] _ _ Have made me [D] old before my [G] _ time
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Wandering _ aimlessly
I'm _ [G] _ wandering _ about
_ _ [Em] Could _ [C] it ever be [D] much different now?
_ _ _ _ [C] Remind me of the past
That [G] I slip into a dream
_ _ [Em] Funny, _ [C] things ain't never what [D] they _ _ seem
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _

[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ Living like children
_ Never doing [D] what [C] we are told
[G] Would _ _ not hesitate to take [Am] a _ chance
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] That road behind me now
[D] Is paved with [C] fools' gold
_ [G] It's _ _ [Dm] almost time for the victory [C] _ dance
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] No more feeling [D] guilty
_ [Am] For things I never [Em] _ did
_ [C] _ _ _
[G] Feeling nothing [Em] for [Am] my crime
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Living [G] like a gypsy
_ [Am] _ _ Dreaming [Em] like a kid
_ [C] _ _ Made [D] me [G] old before my _ _ time _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ There is a long hard [D] road
Behind, so far behind me _ _
