Capo 4
C
My mother once told me
Esus4 E
The thicker your skin,
A7sus4 A7
The better off you’ll be
Dm
When this world brings you down
Dm/G /Ab
It’s trying to control me
Am Dm7
Leave me without hope
F
In the past I’ve been burned
G
But I’ve lived and I’ve learned
Chorus:
C G/B
‘Neath the shelter of the pouring rain
Am G
In the absence of this fear and pain
C G/B
I will finally bid my ball and chains
Am – G
A fond farewell
C G/B
On a road that leads me to my place
Am G
Gonna rid my heart of past disgrace
F G
I will finally bid this sluggish pace
Am – G
A fond farewell…
C
I heard their reservations
Esus4 E
And I read their bitter words
A7sus4 A7
I shined a light upon their wisdom
Dm
No matter how absurd
Dm/G /Ab
Oh they broke my heart to pieces
Am Dm7
And I questioned my own beliefs
F
My dignity was gone
G
It’s time to move on…
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
F
Say goodbye to feeling sorry for myself
To begging others for far too much help
Dm
This is my hand these are the cards that I’ve been dealt
Only I can make these changes, nobody else
F
Say goodbye to these sleepless nights
Those corridors with no end in sight
Dm
A driven man with these words I write
G
I’m making peace with my soul tonight
(Repeat Chorus)
