Cold Irons Bound
Key: EEnglish
Verse
I'm Em7beginning to hear voices and there's no one around
Now I'm all used up and the fields have turned brown
I went to church on Sunday and she passed by
And my love for her is taking such a long time to die
Chorus
Lord I'm Bb(dim)waist deep A7waist deep in the Em7mist
It's almost Bb(dim)like almost A7like I Em7don't exist
I'm A7twenty miles out of Gtown in cold irons Em7bound
Verse
The Em7walls of pride are high and wide
Can't see over to the other side
It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay
It's sadder still to feel your heart torn away
Chorus
One look Bb(dim)at you and A7I'm out of control Em7
Like the Bb(dim)universe has A7swallowed Em7me whole
I'm A7twenty miles out of Gtown in cold irons Em7bound
Verse
Em7There's too many people, too many to recall
I thought some of 'm were friends of mine, I was wrong about 'm all
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
Chorus
I found my Bb(dim)world, A7found my world in you Em7
But your love Bb(dim)just A7hasn't proved Em7true
I'm A7twenty miles out of Gtown in cold irons Em7bound
A7Twenty miles out of Gtown in cold irons Em7bound
Verse
Oh, Em7the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds
Reality has always had too many heads
Some things last longer than you think they will
There are some kind of things you can never kill
Chorus
It's you Bb(dim)and you only A7I been thinking Em7about
But you can't Bb(dim)see in A7and it's Em7hard lookin' out
I'm A7twenty miles out of Gtown in cold irons Em7bound
Verse
Well Em7the fat's in the fire and the water's in the tank
The whiskey's in the jar and the money's in the bank
I tried to love and protect you because I cared
I'm gonna remember forever the joy that we shared
Chorus
Looking at Bb(dim)you and A7I'm on my bended Em7knee
You have no Bb(dim)idea what A7you do to Em7me
I'm A7twenty miles out of Gtown in cold irons Em7bound
A7Twenty miles out of Gtown in cold irons Em7bound
