Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope

God and medicine take no mercy on him

Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat

Enough is enough, he's a long way from home

Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool

Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt

I flew far away, as far as I could go

A    D     A    E        F#m  D      A 
Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed 
A  D        A    E           F#m D        A 
Holding the pain like you're holding your breath 
D                  A      D              A 
I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone

Hospital gowns never fit like they should 
A         D       A     E     F#m D    A 
We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good 
D         A         D              A 
More morphine, the last words you moaned 
D              A         E          F#m   D       A  D A E F#m D A 
At last I was sure that you weren't far away from home
