[Intro] C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 [Verse]
C  Fmaj7         C C/B    Am    Am/G  
We carried you     in our arms

F                    Dm  Dm/C
on Independence Day

Bb                  F
And now you'd throw us all aside

  C               C7
and put us all away

C Fmaj7                 C     C/B      Am  Am/G  
   Oh,   what dear daughter 'neath the sun

F                         Dm  Dm/C
could treat a father so?

Bb               F
To wait upon him hand and foot

 C                      C7
   and always tell him "No"
[Chorus]
E7             Am            Am/G
Tears of rage, tears of grief

F                 C
Why must I always be the thief?

E7                             Am  C7/G  
Come to me now, you know we're so low

F  F/E  Dm        C7    Fmaj7 C  Fmaj7
    And life is brief
[Verse]
C  Fmaj7       C   C/B  Am   
It was all very   painless

Am/G    F                   Dm  Dm/C
When you went out to receive

Bb                 F
   All that false instruction

         C                C7
Which we  never could believe

C   Fmaj7              C C/B      Am   Am/G
And now the heart is filled with gold

F                     Dm  Dm/C
  As if it was a purse

Bb                   F
  But, oh, what kind of love is this

    C                     C7
Which goes from bad to worse?
[Chorus]
E7             Am              Am/G
Tears of rage, tears of grief

F                 C
Why must I always be the thief?

E7                             Am  C7/G 
Come to me now, you know we're so  low

F  F/E  Dm        C7 Fmaj7   C Fmaj7
   And life is brief
[Verse]
C  Fmaj7       C   C/B    Am Am/G
We pointed you the way to go

F                               Dm Dm/C  
And scratched your name in sand

Bb                             F
Though you just thought it was nothing more

       C                  C7
Than a place for you to stand

C Fmaj7               C   C/B      Am     
  I want you to know that while we watched

Am/G      F                        Dm  Dm/C
You discovered no one would be true

Bb                  F
And I myself was among

 F
the ones who thought

               C                 C7
It was just a childish thing to do
[Chorus]
E7             Am             Am/G           
Tears of rage, tears of grief

F                 C
Why must I always be the thief?

E7                             Am  C7/G
Come to me now, you know we're so  low

F  F/E  Dm        C7    Fmaj7 
   And life is brief
