Verse
D
Hold in my breath-not taking a step
Gm
The good church has closed its doors on me
D
God don't like my dirty feet
D
Burnin' the lawn-everyone's gone
Gm
Ain't no BBQ going on today
D
I drink my dinner in the shade
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Days & days go by
Children laughin'
D
Still I don't smile at all
G
Mary's calling to me
Bm
“Can't you see what I see”
G D A
She would never let me down
[Chorus]
D
It's been a long time at the bottom
Bm
I spend a lot of time way down there
G
It's been a long time at the bottom
A D
I don't know how I made it here
[Verse 2]
D
Been livin' a lie-my kisses are dry
Gm
I got No where else left to run
D
My love is blind deaf and dumb
D
Heaven can't wait-to lock up the gate
Gm
Tell me that I never could be long
D
I had my chance but got it wrong
[Pre-Chorus]

Days & days go by
Children laughin'

of my trash
