If you want to play it like they do on the recording, tune your guitar down a half
step and transpose these chords up a half step.
Lookin' [Eb]past the edge of moonlight,
Hoping [Ab]for the break of [Eb]day.
[Eb]Seein' only cracks in sidewalks, not
the [Bb]paved city way.
Lookin' [Eb]down this road to glory in a
[Ab]car designed to [Eb]fail.
[Eb]Breathin' cold winds of freedom
while my [Bb]mind remains in [Eb]jail.
(2x)
With a [Ab]strong steady tailwind, all I
[Eb]see is pourin' [Bb]rain.
A [Ab]victim of a brutal mindset walks
this [Eb]lonely son of [Bb]shame.
Because the [Eb]grass is always
greener, I will [Ab]sit here in my [Cm]pain.
[Eb]Lookin' at the wealth around me.
Woe is [Ab]me, this [Bb]son of [Eb]shame.
Well its p[Eb]ouring snow on the
outside, but all Im s[Ab]eeing is the
[Eb]slush.
[Eb]Looking at the wealth around me,
but just [Bb]thinkin' I aint got much.
Im that m[Eb]an thats prone to worry
in that [Ab]far off glory [Eb]land.
[Eb]Who do I think Im kidding? No one
[Bb]cares or under[Eb]stands.

[Eb]I opened up my eyes and see that

I con[Eb]sider all my ways; the [Ab]paths

[Eb]Man, Im so ashamed as I [Ab]sit here
with a [Bb]life mis[Eb]used.
With a [Ab]mountain set before me all I
[Eb]see is v[Bb]ictory.
But I [Ab]know theres someone out
there and His [Eb]mind remains on [Bb]me.
