K. Kristofferson
INTRO: D G
[G]Thankin' you for [C]openin' my [G]eyes so clear
[C]Sweepin' old illusions from my soul[G]
Most of all for [C]turnin' somethin' [G]simple and sincere
Into somethin' [A7]jaded and as jive as rock and [)D]roll
CHORUS:
Ain't you [)G]always looked at [C]lovin' like a [G]four-letter word
That I made up to make you ill-at [C]ease
I've fought to free you from your [G]castle of despair
'Til I saw the [D]prison wall was [G]me
See the [C]soul who calls itself a [G]prisoner
'Cause it's [D]still too frightened to be [G]free
I [C]feel so much older now and [G]wiser
Ain't it [D]sad how lonesome that can [G]be
BREAK: G C G C G C G A7 D
CHORUS
OUTRO: D C G C G
