Am          G
   I try and feel the sunshine
  F               E
   You bring the rain
  Am            G
   You try and hold me down
  F               E
   With your complains
  Am             G
   You cry and moan and complain
  F                E
   You whine an tear
  Am              G
   Up to my neck in sorrow
  F                E
   The touch you bring
  Am                C           D
   You don't just step inside to 14 years
  Am              C             D
   So hard to keep my own head... That's what I say
            Am                  C
   You know... I've been the beggar...
  D
   I've played the thief
  Am            C   D
   I was the dog... They all tried to beat
                 Am           G
   But it's been 14 years of silence
              D
   It's been 14 years of pain
             Am                 G
   It's been 14 years that are gone forever
             D              (Am G F E)2x
   And I'll never have again

  Am             G
   Your stupid girlfreinds tell you
  F                 E
   That I'm to blame
  Am                     G
   Well, they're all used-up has-beens
  F               E
   Out of the game
  Am               G
   This time I'll have the last word
  F                   E
   You hear what I say
  Am            G
   I tried to see it your way
  F                   E
   It won't work today
  Am               C            D
   You just don't step inside to 14 years
  Am              C             D
   So hard to keep my own head... That's what I say
            Am                 C
   You know... I've been the dealer...
      D
   Hangin' on your street
  Am            C  D
   I was the dog... They all tried to beat
                 Am           G
   But it's been 14 years of silence

             Am                 G
   It's been 14 years that are gone forever
           D                (Am G D)4x
   And I'll never have again

  Am                G
   Bullshit and contemplation
  F                   E

  Am             G
   If they knew half the real truth
  F                   E
   What would they say
  Am                     G
   Well, I'm past the point of concern
  F                 E
   It's time to play
  Am             G
   These last 4 years of madness
  F                   E
   Sure put me straight
  Am              C

   In just one day
  Am              C
   So hard to keep my own head

   Just go away
           Am                  C
   You know... Just like a hooker she said
    D
   Nothin's for free
   Am              C
