She's got me tied in a knot. That's what I   thought she'd do. 
G     Em     G            C     G         Em   G       C 
Don't ask me what's on my mind. I'm fine. I'll push on through. 
G   Em      G           C     G       Em      G         C 
Not much to see on this angry street, so I'll sleep the day away. 
G    Em      G         C     G       Em   G              C 
Look past my barnacled mind, in time I'll roll the stone away.

While we still have the daylight, I might look these lessons in the eye.

Verse 

G     Em           G          C    G          Em G        C 
Brass knuckles and birds on a wire retire but no one gets free. 
G     Em        G     C      G     Em   G        C 
I'd pay to tear these chains away, this steel sympathy. 
G   Em       G          C     G       Em         G        C 
Cut bait and cold black forty weight, no one can sing for me. 
G    Em             G               C        G    Em        G    C 
They fall down with grease in their eyes and cry. How could this come to be?
