[Verse]
C
everybodys in this together now
Dm
why you wanna break your back
C
pushing thru the wind and the weather now
Dm
lay another mile of track
F         G
he was a friend of mine
     C                F
his heart was full of flames
              G             C
he swung that hammer like a hard
F
driving rain
Dm               G
give a familiar name
C
beckas going out to the dance tonight
Dm
why you wanna cut your tounge
C
try to keep it out of the disco lights
Dm
thinking back on when he was young
F         G
we never talked that much
C         F
he never knew her brain
            G
but he was helpless
         C                  F
when the light fell on her face
Dm                        G
nothing ever stays in its place

woo hooos bridge
Am C Dm G Em F Dm G

C
wash my face in a clear cool stream
G
try and shake off last nights dream
F                      G
man its hard when you got it down into your soul
C
maybe my sister just got all the good luck
G
maybe i missed it when the lightening struck
F                              G
just cant keep living off rock n roll
F                 G               C                F
he spilled his heart till his mouth could take no more
F           G                  C                    F
the dust and letters scattered splinters across the floor
F         G               C              F
he never questions who it was he did it for
Dm                        G
nail it to the back of the door
