[INTRO]
Am F C/G G
Am F C/G C/G
[VERSE 1]
Am C/G E E7
Am I taking off in a Seven–Four-Seven?
Am C/G E E7
Or onto a park bench to sleep,
F Am C/G G
Some people will hand me down their spare coins,
Am C/G E E
While others, waste money on immaterial things.
Am G C/G
[CHORUS 1]
C/G G Am
To see me in a suit and tie,
Am F G
That I used to wear nine-to-five,
C/G G Am
My cracked mirror is a glimpse,
Am F Am
It’s the wilted man that I used to be.
[VERSE 2]
Am C/G E E7
I do now see, in my tattered wallet,
Am C/G E E7
The pictures – when they were 3 and 5,
F Am C/G G
The smiles see me through another day,
Am C/G E E
I’ll fight to watch them strive.
[INSTRMENTAL]
C/G F G G
C/G F G
[INTERLUDE]
C Am
My luggage was carried,
G
On my back,
C/G
In my head,
Am G G
It weighed a tonne,
Dm F C G
But now I’ve killed my bur--dens,
Dm F C/G
Life’s now as light as a feather
Am G C/G
The kids and me, back together,
Am G C/G
The clouds now show to me the Sun,
C/G Am G
My secrets – I rarely tell……….
C/G G Am
In my head, the pain - has gone
[VERSE 3]
Am C/G E E7
Fashion beards that some men wear,
Am C/G E E7
Grooming themselves for hours,
F Am C/G G
Mine just looks like and old birds nest,
Am C/G E E
Causing a rash, making me itch.
[CHORUS 2]
C/G G Am
So no longer am I in that suit and tie,
Am F G
Just my shirt, shorts and feeling the breeze,
C/G G Am
I’m now watching my children grow,
Am F Am
This is where I am standing strong.
C/G G Am C/G
From now on, I’ll never lie to myself,
C/G G F
If something does go wrong
C/G G Am
When the clouds do gather in the sky,
Am F C/G G Am Am
I’ll be out there, looking for my Sun to shine.
