the days are all long
F C
and the years they’re short
Am G F C
homes down south i’m stuck up north
Am G F C
working on a living for the family
Am G F C
wishing i could give them all a fantasy
Am G
the times are all tough
F C
and the works real hard
Am G
i’ve been pulling doubles
F C
in the norfolk yard
Am G F C
trying to find a way away from it all
Am G F
waiting for the day the curtain may fall
reff :
Am G F C
it’s all the way it’s always been
Am G F C
work all day until the days all spent
Am G F C
can’t afford to break so you always bend
Am G F C
it’s all the way it’s always been

Am G F C
it’s back and forth and back again
Am G F

int . Am G F C
Am G F C
Am G
they say the futures looking bleak
F C
well so Am i
Am G
try to catch a little sleep
F C
in the middle of the night
Am G
catch a little glimpse
F C
of the good old days
Am G F C
wondering why i ever let them slip away
Am G F C
money ain’t much for a beat up heart
Am G
i’ve been pulling hair
F C
out in the norfolk yard
Am G F C
under the gun and i’m over it all
Am G
waiting for the day
F
i’ll get a better call
