[Verse 1]
I am a man I've [F]been
working all my days
[Em]This is my accounting
Of my [F]means and of my ways

[Verse 2]
[Am]More years are behind me now
Than [F]years that are [Am]ahead
Looking [Em]back I feel
This is [F]my story to be said

[Verse 3]
[Am]I faced my father down
Inside the hallway [F]of [Em]our home
[G]18 years of pain
Upon my [F]body to the bone

[Verse 4]
[Am]Demons lived inside of him
They forced him [F]to the act
The [Em]layers [G]of the bruises
To my [F]body was [Dm]the fact
[G]Oo

[Verse 5]

[Dm][G][C][G][Am]

[Verse 6]
[Am]I grew
and went into the world
I [F]learned to know it's code
[Em]Of spoken [G]and unspoken
And I [F]learned to love the road

[Verse 7]
[Am]I shoulder every burden like
A [F]mule with a heavy pack
[G]Every coin I earn is another
[F]Knot within my back

[Verse 8]
Ooh
[Am]Ecstasy and pleasure come
At [F]much too great a cost
[G]I keep myself upon the earth
But [F]measure what I've lost

[Verse 9]
[Am]Winged things they brush against me
[F]Never mine to hold
[Em]I keep my [G]eyes upon the ground
[Em]And carr[F]y on as old

[Verse 10]
[Bm]I met a woman
She had the gif[G]ted touch
[A]Her hands were wise with healing
And with [G]wonder and all such

[Verse 11]
[Bm]As the fates would have it
Each to others [G]we are wed
We con[A]fine [F#m]ourselves to friendship
And we [G]stay out of the bed

[Verse 12]
Ooh
[Bm]Now I turn around to face
[G]The specter [Bm]of m[G]y age
[A]My soul it fights my body
Like a [G]bird will fight its cage

[Verse 13]
[Bm]I see that last horizon
I [G]hope it brings me peace
I look [A]forward to the day
At last my [G]body knows release

[Verse 14]
[Em]Oo h[A][Bm]
[Em]Oo h[A][D][A]
