DG
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
DAA7
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
DD7
I've been living too fast
G
And I've been living too wrong
DAD
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
[Verse 1]
DG
This big ol' world sure got me running 'round
DAA7
I heard a voice that said, "Just settle down"
DD7
And with the moonlight as my guide
G
And with this feeling deep inside
DAD
I know now that I am homeward bound
DG
As I wander through the pines, the whisperings, they tell
DAA7
Of the many before me who tried and fell
DD7
Seeking fortune and ways
G
To get to glory days
DAD
Looking for a place in this old world
[Chorus]
DG
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
DAA7
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
DD7
I've been living too fast
G
And I've been living too wrong
DAD
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone

[Verse 2]
DG
Desert road, desert plains
DAA7
I have seen so much pain
DD7G
Now I see into the eyes of a girl
DAD
No more, no more, cruel world
DG
Dusty trail saw a vapor light
DAA7
Was it mirage? Don't know but it seemed right
DD7
I felt mission I felt trust
G
I knew that then I must
DAD
Go to her, away from this cruel world
[Chorus]
DG
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
DAA7
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
DD7
I've been living too fast
G
And I've been living too wrong
DAD
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
