Yonder Mountain String Band - Casualty

A G
good times don’t seem last and the bad ones fade as fast

D G A
either way it means the time is flyin

A G
can’t recall how i got here , i don’t know if i’m thinkin clear

D G A
it’s hard to tell the truth from all the lyin

G G G G G G G G A
and the only thing you’ll get from me is time

G A D
and the damn awareness somethings on my mind

A G
headin off i’m out the door , she wonders why i’m leavin

D G A
and i wonder why she gives me things for free

G G D D G A
i wonder what is you think you’re getting from me

repeat for next 2 verses

she’s looking for some kind of grace , and i look to the past on my face
she don’t see it , so she knows that i’ll be goin’
oh when i’m gone please understand , it’s just that i’m that kind of man
it’s heard that you can’t stop the wind from blowin’

i didn’t mean a casualty , oh the cost for lovin me
the shoes i’m wearin lead me to destruction
anyway it’s bound to end , could be now and it could be then
i’m just flyin down this highway i call home

and the only thing you’ll get from me is time
and the damn awareness somethings on my mind
headin off i’m out the door , she wonders why i’m leavin
and i wonder why she gives me things for free
i wonder what it is you think you’re getting from me
