14 Years

Am G 

I try and feel the sunshine 
F E 

You bring the rain 
Am G 

You try and hold me down 
F E 

With your complaints 
Am G 

You cry and moan and complain 
F E 

You whine an tear 
Am G 

Up to my neck in sorrow 
F E 

The touch you bring 
Am C D 

You just don't step inside to 14 years 
Am C D 

So hard to keep my own head... that's what I say 
Am C D 

You know...I've been the beggar... 
Am C D 

I've played the thief 
Am C D 

I was the dog...they all tried to beat

Am 

But it's been 
G D 

14 years of silence 
Am 

It's been 
G D 

14 years of pain 
Am 

It's been 
G D 

14 years that are gone forever 
Am G D 

And I'll never have again

Am G F E


Your stupid girlfriends tell you 
That I'm to blame 
Well they're all used-up has-beens 
Out of the game 
This time I'll have the last word 
You hear what I say 
I tried to see it your way 
It won't work today 
You just don't step inside to 14 years 
So hard to keep my own head...that's what I say 
You know...I've been the dealer... 
Hangin' on your street 
I was the dog...they all tried to beat
But it's been 
14 years of silence 
It's been 
14 years of pain 
It's been 
14 years that are gone forever 
And I'll never have again
Bullshit and contemplation 
Gossip's their trade 
If they knew half the real truth 
What would they say 
Well I'm past the point of concern 
It's time to play 
These last 4 years of madness 
Sure put me straight 
Don't get back 14 years 
In just one day 
So hard to keep my own head 
Just go away 
You know...just like a hooker she said 
Nothin's for free 
Oh I tried to see it your way 
I tried to see it your way
