Capo 3rd Fret 


Gm                  F            Cm          Gm 
Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain 
Gm                   F                Gm                    
You can't know about everything, only pleasure and pain 
Gm             F                Cm         Gm 
You wonder why I come here with head to my hands 
Gm             F                  Gm 
Where else can I be cured and the king of your mansion 
Gm              F                   Cm 
A thorn in your side, a child to protect 
Cm               Bb 
That claims he's free 
Bb                      Dm 
Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven 
Bb                         Dm 
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection 
Dm           Cm                    Bb 
Darling come quickly, come ease my mind 
       Cm                                       Bb 
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time 

Gm           F            Cm         Gm 
I've already made my bed, like it or not 
Gm                 F                  Gm 
As long as there's no regrets I'll be here when the ride stops 
Gm                F                       Cm 
These comforts to me and these crosses to bear 
Cm            Bb 
With which we live 
Bb                      Dm 
Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven 
Bb                         Dm 
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection 
        Cm                       Bb 
Baby, I can't drag you into this mess 

I'm the thorn in your side and the child to protect 
And I'm just around the comer, half a mile to heaven 
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection 
Darling come quickly, come ease my worried mind 
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time
