[Verse 1]
G                  C
Up in the morning. Rise with the sun.

      D                        G
I can feel the wind blow on my face as I run

G                              C
To the top of the mountain and back down home

           D                 G Gadd4 G
Where I wait in my desert home.
[Verse 2]
   G                          C
My hands are still steady. My feet they still go.

   D                      G
My back's been broken. My step has been slowed.

    G                       C
I'm feeling too young to be feeling so old

       D                    G Gadd4 G
Tucked away in my desert home.
[Chorus]
          C                   G
Keep your hands on the table, up where I can see.

      D                            G
Don't trust you no more, since you lied to me.

    C                          D
You told me to come back and I know that you won't.

    G                         C
You promised to love me and I know

                   D    D7
That you don't. Anymore.
[Verse 2]
        G                         C
I got friends in the country with kids near grown.

      D                     G
But I never did marry, have one of my own.

     G                               C
I've still got old Charlie, just not sure for how long.

        D                  G Gadd4 G D
My good boy. And my desert home.
[Bridge] | G | C | D | G | | G | C | D | G Gadd4 G | D | [Verse 3]
            G                              C
Well that's all there is to it. I know the show must go on.

            D                                   G
And there's life to be lived still. And there's seeds to be sown.

      G                       C
And I pray that someday I may walk in the sun.

    D                   G
Far away from my desert home.

    D                   C   G
Far away from my desert home.
