Wish I could slip inside and be,

In some technicolour dream,

I'm not fool enough to think,

You couldn't live life without me,

I didn't come this far to throw the towel in,
E F# B
I didn't fight this hard to walk away,
Abm Eb E Em
If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry,

It's just because the words got in the way,

You deserve a shooter, a saint

Someone to give it to you straight

To find the soul through flesh and bone

My life's a treasure, full of sunny weather

But it's left me feeling cold
B E B F#
Now all you want to do is take me home

I got one foot in, one foot off the ground
