Verse:

^A6add9Dry endless plains, and we've ^Gsuffered the ^D/F#worst Em7/B G Bmadd11 Are we being punished or are we just cursed? ^A6add9It's almost ten years, and ^Gno drop of ^D/F#rain Em7/B G Bmadd11 Only mocking blue skies bringing more of the same ^A6add9Our mother was crying when they ^Gsent us to ^D/F#stay Em7/B G Bmadd11 With strangers in a town and we both ran away ^A6add9Back to the dust and see ^GHenry ^D/F#again ^Em7/BWe're creatures of habit, don't you ^Gknow Em G Bmadd11 F#9 A9 One day we'll reap what we sow.
