[A#m]
[D#m] [F#] [B]
[F#] [G#m] I
[F#] [A#m] left Dakota, [D#m] hell bent [F#] to forget [B] Bought a ticket to [F#] Skaggan, Maine
I wound up in [A#m] Seattle, [D#m] so drunk and so [F#] rattled
[G#] Thought I'd caught the wrong [C#] train
[F#] Found some fast, [A#m] easy women and [D#m] some hard [F#]-drinkin' men
[B] Swore I'd drown the sorrow in [G#] me
[B] I once had a [C#] lot, [F#] but the future [B] was not, [F#] [C#] not what it used [B] to be
And [F#]
[D#] [F#] all the years, [A#m] they went by, and [D#m] I went steadily downhill
[B] Till I had no place left to [F#] go
Made the missions [A#m] by morning, [D#m] made the dives every [F#] night
[G#] Till I made a wreck of my body [C#] and soul
[F#] And then I met a [A#m] lady, [D#m] and in time [C#m] she made me [B] forget
Her love set me [G#]
free
[B] We didn't [C#] have a lot, but [F#] the future [B] was not, [F#]
not [C#] what it [B] used to be
[F#] [D#m]
I never thought [A#m] I would live to get old
Or [D#m] the past [B] cut a hole [F#] deep in me
[D#m] But there was the chance to [A#m] be here a while longer
[B] At least, I wanted [C#] to be
[F#] [A#m] Somebody told me [D#m]
she [F#] was in town
[B] I found out [F#] today, [A#m] Lord how it hurts me
[D#m] To hear [F#] that she's down, [G#]
but what [C#] else can I say?
I
[F#] know [Fm] her sorrow, [D#m]
I know [F#] her pain, [B]
I know [G#] her need
[B]
I once loved her a lot, [C#] but the [F#] future's just [B] not, [C#] not what it used [B] to be
