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              (Am G F E)2x
And I’ll never have again
 
Am             G
Your stupid girlfriends 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 of pain
Am                 G
It’s been 14 years that are gone forever
D                (Am G D)4x
And I’ll never have again
 
(Solo)
 
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
