[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G G
My heart's in the ice house come hill or come valley
C C
Like a long ago Sunday when I walked through the alley
G D
On a cold winter's morning to the church house
G G
Just to shovel some snow
G G
I heard sirens on the train tracks, howl naked, gettin nuder
C C
An alter boy has been hit by a local commuter
G
Just from walking with his back turned
D G G7
To a train that was coming so slow
[Chorus]
C C
You can gaze out the window get mad and get madder
G G
Throw your hands in the air and say what does it matter
D C G G7
But it don't do no good to get angry so help me I know
C C
For a heart stained with anger grows weak and grows bitter
G G
You'll become your own prisoner as you watch yourself sit there
D C G G
Wrapped up in a trap of your very own chain of sorrow
[Instrumental 2nd half verse]
G G C C G D G G
[Verse 3]
G G
I've been brought down to zero pulled out and put back there
C C
I sat on a park bench kissed the girl with the black hair
G D G G
And my head shouted down to my heart you better look out below
G G
It ain't such a long drop don't stammer, don't stutter
C C
From the diamonds in the sidewalk to the dirt in the gutter
G D G G7
You'll be carrying those bruises to remind you wherever you go
[Chorus]
[Instrumental 2nd half verse]
G G C C G D G G
[Verse 1]
[Chorus]
