Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I l[A]ive i[G]n a[D] cold, world, all by myself
I wear the sun, don't ever shine
And it's a low -down place,
[A]I mean [D]a mean disgrace
The way you've got me doing time
You've got to [G]break these
[Gm]lonely chains I'm in
I [G]swear by stars [Gm]above
I'd rather do 90 years
on a hard rock [G]pile
Than to [A]have to do without your love
I'm in a [D]poor man's prison, baby
It's been a hard, long, lonesome time
But darling, can't you see
that you can set me free
Because your [A]loving doesn't
out of my [D]mind
Maybe there's four stone
walls [A]around [D]me
And a cold flower under my head
You know at night I weep, I just can't sleep
I guess I might as well be dead
You know it's [G]such a drag without you,
baby
I'm staying here all alone
And I just can't take it too [Gm]much longer
[A]Baby, won't you come back home?
[D]I'm in a poor man's prison, baby
It's been a hard, long, lonesome time
But darling, can't you see
that you can set me free?
Cause your [A]lovin' drives me out
of my [D]mind[G][Gm][G]
I'd rather do 90 years on a hard rock car
Than to [A]have to do without your love
I'm [G]in [D]a poor man's prison, baby
D, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d...
...cold brew at our pharmacy.
D, d, d, d, d, d, d, d...
