Dsus2 
Here on the inside, looking at the outside 
 
Dsus2 
Losing my memory faster than my pride 
 
G                Cadd9      G          Dsus2 
Here I am, baby, blind as a bat out of hell 
 
Dsus2 
Cut me loose of that ball and chain 
 
Dsus2 
Packed up a glad-bag, hopped on a train 
 
       G                Cadd9        G     Dsus2 
To the land of the lonely, as far as I can tell 
 
       A                      G 
I was laughing like a fool on fire 
 
A                      G 
Candle burning into my hand 
 
A                        G 
Sitting like a bird on a wire 
 
         G 
I had to find me a place to stand 
 
Word is to say(?), got his poison pens 
And his children in armor, frustrated men 
And women who don't know why they were sent at all 
You might think that we'd had our fill 
And we'd stand up and fight if we just had the will 
If we just a little more time and love or something 
Oh, we're all laughing like fools on fire 
Standing burning into our hand 
Sitting like birds on a wire 
I got to find me a place to stand 
 
Cadd9   G/B          G       D 
Foolish hearts don't have no rest 
 
         Cadd9       G/B              G      D 
From the moment your head leaves your mama's chest 
 
         Cadd9      G/B      G             D 
From the moment you hold the child in your hands 
 
         Cadd9                        G/B                A 
From the moment you think that you'll find your place to stand
