Gm                  F            Cm          Gm
Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain
Gm                   F                Gm
You can't know about everything, only pleasure and pain
Gm             F                Cm         Gm
You wonder why I come here with head to my hands
Gm             F                  Gm
Where else can I be cured and the king of your mansion
Gm              F                   Cm
A thorn in your side, a child to protect
Cm               Bb
That claims he's free
Bb                      Dm
Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven
Bb                         Dm
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection
Dm           Cm                    Bb
Darling come quickly, come ease my mind
       Cm                                       Bb
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time

Gm           F            Cm         Gm
I've already made my bed, like it or not
Gm                 F                  Gm
As long as there's no regrets I'll be here when the ride stops
Gm                F                       Cm
These comforts to me and these crosses to bear
Cm            Bb
With which we live
Bb                      Dm
Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven
Bb                         Dm
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection
        Cm                       Bb
Baby, I can't drag you into this mess

I'm the thorn in your side and the child to protect
And I'm just around the comer, half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection
Darling come quickly, come ease my worried mind
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time
