INTRO: A D A E A D A E A
A D
Caught in the vice of heaven and earth
A E
He turned his life into a cell
A D
Imprisoned by the doubts that hound us all
A E A
And the desires that we all know so well
F#m A D A
His days lost to promises, his nights he purged of dreams
A E
And he'd wake in the hours before sunrise
D E A
And dread the coming of the day
A D
Never thought a man could become so desperate
A E
Never thought a life could lose so much hope
A D
To be tearing at the roots around you
A E A
As if in manacles, or irons, or ropes
F#m A D A
They say he told his children that all he taught was lost
A E
That love and pride and honesty
D E A
Were gained at too high a cost
A D
It's been thirty summers that I've spent with him
A E
And I expect thirty more to pass
A D
He has blessed my life in so many ways
A E A
That I could never turn my back
F#m A
But I need just one more reminder
D A
Of the man that he used to be
A E
If he would just look deep into my eyes
D E A
And say it's in you my love that I will find the key.
