Letra
Em
In a dark and lonely corner
C
Of a time-worn dockside inn
Em
Sits the local barstool warrior
Am
Talking to his gin
Em
Tracing past decisions
C
He motions for a shot
Em Am
Is he doomed to be a man this world forgot?
F G
Just a prisoner of the monster on his back
C G
Call it bad luck, call it fate
F Fm
Call it stuck here the rest of my days
C
Serves me right
Gm
What went wrong?
G F Eb G F
And where do I belong?
Em
In the glow of flashing lights
C
On the shoulder of the road
Bm A
Clutching at the bruises on her skin
Em
She tries to signal danger
C
With anguish in her eyes
D Am
Will he see the world of pain she's in?
F G
Or is it too late?
C G
Was it bad luck, was it fate
F Fm
Or a past that she couldn't escape?
C Gm
It's not right, something's wrong
G F Eb G F
Just where do I belong?

Gm Eb F
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty
Dm Gm
Never accepting the blame
Eb F
And not letting go of the shame
Gm Eb F
A river of tears as months turn to years, all wasted
Dm Gm
On someone not willing to change
Eb F
Now only a shadow remains
Dm F
No one can save you
Gm F
And there's no one to save
Dm F
It has been written
Cm Bb Am
You will become all you think
Adim G
All you feel, all you dream
G C
Now I'm cutting the anchor away
Cm G
And I won't look back
Dm Eb C
I'm starting a new life today
Eb F Gm
Now I see where I belong
