^Dsus2Here on the inside, looking at the outside ^Dsus2Losing my memory faster than my pride

^GHere I am, baby, ^Cadd9blind as a ^Gbat out of ^Dsus2hell ^Dsus2Cut me loose of that ball and chain

^Dsus2Packed up a glad-bag, hopped on a train To the ^Gland of the lonel^Cadd9y, as far as ^GI can ^Dsus2tell

I was l^Aaughing like a fool on ^Gfire ^ACandle burning into my ^Ghand

^ASitting like a bird on a ^Gwire I had to ^Gfind me a place to stand

Well, this city's got its poison pens And its children in armor, frustrated men And women who don't know why they were sent at all You might think that we'd had our fill And we'd stand up and fight if we just had the will If we just a little more time and love or something Oh, we're all laughing like fools on fire Standing burning into our hand Sitting like birds on a wire I got to find me a place to stand

^Cadd9Foolish ^G/Bhearts don't ^Ghave no ^Drest From the ^Cadd9moment your ^G/Bhead leaves your ^Gmama's ^Dchest

From the ^Cadd9moment you ^G/Bhold the ^Gchild in your ^Dhands From the ^Cadd9moment you think that you'll ^G/Bfind your place to ^Astand

Little bit older, years go by Squeezing that stone, but my well's still dry Here I am, here I am Oh, I'm laughing like a fool on fire Candle burning into my hand Sitting like a bird on a wire I had to find me a place to stand
