You hit that same old wall

Really, they don't wanna help at all

                      G           Am
They talk behind your back today

            F             C
Shake their heads and say

Missing that boy a mile at a time

Too much time upon the shelf

                G                   Am      F   C
Saying that I don't need help, when I do, I do

                      G             Am
But I think I'm gonna be just fine

A lot of friends, a little wine
