Kris Kristofferson – Shipwrecked In The Eighties (Guitar)

          D
Well, you fight like the devil to

                            A
Just keep your head above water

A
Chained to whatever you got

                      D
That you can't throw away

           D 
And you're shooting through space

                                    A
On that river of life that you're riding

         A 
And it's swirling and sucking you

                    D
Deeper on down everyday

        G
So you turn to your trusty old partner

                    D
To share some old feelings

         A
And you find to your shock that

                             D
Your faithful companion is gone. (So long, Tonto)

          G
And the truth slowly dawns that you're

                         D
Lost and alone in deep water

           A
And you don't even know how much longer

             Bm
There is to go on.

        D
Like an old Holy Bible you've clung to

               A
For so many seasons

         A 
With the rules of survival in words

                   D
You could still understand

          D 
When they proved something wrong

                                 A
You believed in so long you go crazy

           A
And you're so close to foldin' the cards

                       D
That you hold in your hand

             G                                  D
Singing, "Holy Toledo! I can't see the light anymore!"

  A                                              D
"All those horizons that I used to guide me are gone."

         G                                             D
"And the darkness is driving me farther away from the shore."

   A                                      Bm
Throw me a rhyme or a reason to try to go on.
