Am          G   
  I try and feel the sunshine 
F               E 
 You bring the rain 
Am            G 
 You try and hold me down 
F               E 
 With your complains 
Am             G 
 You cry and moan and complain 
F                E 
 You whine an tear 
Am              G 
 Up to my neck in sorrow 
F                E 
 The touch you bring  
 
Am                C           D 
 You don't just step inside to 14 years 
Am              C             D 
 So hard to keep my own head... That's what I say 
         Am                  C 
You know... I've been the beggar
D 
 I've played the thief 
Am            C   D 
 I was the dog... They all tried to beat 
 
              Am           G 
But it's been 14 years of silence 
           D 
It's been 14 years of pain 
          Am                 G 
It's been 14 years that are gone forever 
          D              
And I'll never have again

Am             G 
 Your stupid girlfreinds tell you 
F                 E 
 That I'm to blame 
Am                     G 
 Well, they're all used-up has-beens 
F               E 
 Out of the game 
Am               G 
 This time I'll have the last word 
F                   E 
 You hear what I say 
Am            G 
 I tried to see it your way 
F                   E 
 It won't work today 
Am               C            D 
 You just don't step inside to 14 years 
Am              C             D 
 So hard to keep my own head... That's what I say 
         Am                 C 
You know... I've been the dealer
   D 
Hangin' on your street 
Am            C  D 
 I was the dog... They all tried to beat 
 
              Am           G 
But it's been 14 years of silence 
           D 
It's been 14 years fo pain 
          Am                 G 
It's been 14 years that are gone forever 
        D                
And I'll never have again

Am                G 
 Bullshit and contemplation 
F                   E 
 Gossip's their trade 
Am             G 
 If they knew half the real truth 
F                   E 
 What would they say 
Am                     G 
 Well, I'm past the point of concern 
F                 E 
 It's time to play 
Am             G 
 These last 4 years of madness 
F                   E 
 Sure put me straight 
 
Am              C 
 Don't get back 14 years 
D 
 In just one day 
Am              C 
 So hard to keep my own head 
D 
 Just go away 
        Am                  C 
You know... Just like a hooker she said 
 D 
Nothin's for free 
Am              C 
Oh, I tried to see it your way 
Am           C 
I tried to see it your way
