[VERSE 1]
  B                 B                            C#
     I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands
        E                         F#
  I was lost in the night with no sight of you and at

[VERSE 2]
  B                    B                  C#
     Been close to the edge hanging by my fingernails
    E                                F#
  I rolled and I tumbled through the roses and the thorns
        E                          F#                         B
  and I couldn't see the sign that warned me, heading for the light

     Oh, I didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me
  G#m             F#                    E
     And when the rain came down, I was nearly drowned

     My shoes are burning out from walking down this same highway
    E                           F#
  I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change

I tried to tab this out to fit on two pages if printed with Windows' Notepad, as with
others I've done. Notice at the beginning of each [VERSE] there are two measures of B and
played. Also, at the end of the [CODA] I've compressed the last four measures but 
still played in the same beat as all of the others in the song.
