Rod Stewart - Scarred And Scared

rod stewart ” scarred and scared

D G
started out like any one of you
D G
good intentions and a degree
G G
but one hot night under the neon lights
D G
killed a boy just seventeen

Bm F#m
now i sit here rainin’ on my maker
Em A
reprieve is all i’m praying for
Bm F#m
lord i fear the hangman’s steps approachin’
Em D
will the priest knock gently on my door

and i know i’ve let my Daddy down
and i broke my mother’s heart
i’d give anything turn back time again
just give me one more start

i don’t need no trial humiliation
just tell me that i’m heaven bound
i don’t want no two faced consolation
what use is that to me six feet underground

i’m going down to the engine shed
put a gun up to my head
blow myself into the promised land
we call it scarred and scared
and if you ever see my son again
don’t let on just how i fared
tell him , tell him i went down big and strong
i was never , never , never scarred or scared

all the girls that once did gather ’round me
have moved along to someone else
sitting here desperation is my close friend
what i’d give to kiss one of them now
oo yeah i’ll take you there
i’ll take ya there
