A    D     A    E      F#m    D      A
Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope

A       D   A    E       F#m D    A
God and medicine take no mercy on him

D            A          D              A
Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat

D         A       E      F#m    D      A   D A E F#m D A         
Enough is enough, he's a long way from home

Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool

Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt

D            A      D              A
I flew far away, as far as I could go

Your time is running out and I'm a long way from home

Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed

A  D        A    E           F#m D        A
Holding the pain like you're holding your breath

D                  A      D              A
I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone

You're right next to me but you're a long way from home

Hospital gowns never fit like they should

A         D       A     E     F#m D    A
We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good

D         A         D              A
More morphine, the last words you moaned

D              A         E          F#m   D       A  D A E F#m D A
At last I was sure that you weren't far away from home
