in the end her only friend , keeps herself wide open
looks into a higher ground
what did husband say was found?
G

D/D2
i can’t juggle this
i can’t juggle this
i can’t juggle this
when it slips she says :

E F# G
this kansas wheat won’t break me

B A
and another drink won’t take me

E F# G
i can make it if you can

D/D2

verse : 2 : 15 – 3 : 19

D/D2
strip it down wide open still
was your head caught in that pill?
was your life one big regret?
the smartest man she ever met

G
was not buried or put up on a cross

D/D2
and she thinks it’s over , still
if that light won’t go on
there’s no hope in life at all
if the oven won’t burn

chorus : 3 : 20 – 3 : 57

E F# G
this kansas wheat won’t break me

B A
and another drink won’t take me

E F# G D/D2
i can make it if you can

E F# G
this kansas wheat won’t break us

B A
and another drink won’t make us free

E F# G
the ovens wide open

3 : 58 – end

D/D2
hold your breath and see
hold your breath and see

* keep using D & D2 until end .
