Am
Sometimes I think I'm going crazy

Staring at the same four walls

Then I get home so wasted, worn out

Dm
I curse at you and tell you

How I've done the work of ten to fifteen men

         F7
How I've struggled for my money

Well I'm tired of it honey

Think I'm gonna have to leave here for a while

Am
I never seem to look at you

    Dm
And see that somewhere underneath

  C             G/B             F
A pair of tired eyes are crying out

         Am
Well you know I work hard all day long

Dm
Let me kiss you once with meaning

C       G/B               F
Just to kill this nagging doubt

         F7
Well you don't deny I do you proud

        Am
And you expect me to be tired

    F7
You say there's no future in our lives

While I persist I'm putting out the fire

Cm                             G/B                 F
