Intro: G
C
Wipe the dust from my saddle
Like an old familiar friend
Life and time will pass you by
Don't worry 'bout the shit
G
That you can't mend
C
Wash the troubles from my mind
I know they'll never end
Futures looking brighter
G
We can always ride again
D
Misfits, drunks and Philistines
I've been them all before
C
But I know that I don't
G
Want them anymore
C
Feel the sun cast my shadow
Growing bigger and brand new
Things to kill the hard times
G
What's it really matter to you
C
I've had one constant in my life
The love of my woman
She's everything and in between
G
I hope she never goes away
D
Hey…
C
Dark days behind me
G
Hope the good days don't blind me
Em C G
I was out of my mind out of my head
Em C G
You blew in and showed me love instead
Em C
Desperately drowning
G
A puddle on the floor
Em C G
You've made me a life worth living for
D
Misfits, drunks and Philistines
I've been all before
C
But I know that I don't
G
Need them anymore
D
Hey…
C
Dark days behind me
G
Hope the good days don't blind me
