[Intro]
D   A   E   A   D   A   E   A
 
[Verse 1]
A                   E            F#m                       D
   It couldn't ever dawned on me     All the things that I would be
  A            E                     D
I never really looked out quite that far
A                    E
   It's never been a simple thing
F#m                        D
   To see the world with a young man's brain                                         
A                E             D
 With an old man's heart   restless soul
        A                    E
Yeah my family went broke my eighteenth year
F#m                    D
   Dad took a job many miles from here
     A                     E              D
That   that was alright by me    I was on my own
        A                  E
I had a band found a job   life was alright
  F#m                     D
I worked when I had to we played all the time
     A                E                     D
Only got through that first year of college alright
 
[Chorus]
      D
But I learned more on the freight docks
        A                          E
Driving forklifts on the 3 o'clock am shift
                     A
In the winter time   man it got cold
        D                               A
Selling guitars on the west coast goin' hungry
              E                          A
Chasin' ghost around and around we would go
             D
And I saw it all tending bar at night 
A
Treatin' saints and sinners right
       E                        A
It's a good thing to do all the time 
          D
You never know who you're talkin' to
A
But always know who's watching you
          E                             A          D A E A D A E A
Keep your feet movin' straight down the line
 
[Verse 2]
A                      E            F#m
   I've known a lot of real good men   Grad school or no school
     D
I've called them my friends
A                             E                      D
   I'm   I'm somewhere in the middle and that's just fine                       
         A                          E
Though I don't give a damn how much money you make
        F#m                   D
If your life sure has pockets take all you can
    A                    E                D
I'm   I'm goin' out with nothing   like I came
 
[Chorus]
         D
'Cause I learned more on the freight docks
        A                          E
Driving forklifts on the 3 o'clock am shift
                     A
In the winter time   man it got cold
        D                               A
Selling guitars on the west coast goin' hungry
              E                          A
Chasin' ghost around and around we would go
             D
And I saw it all tending bar at night 
A
Treatin' saints and sinners right
       E                        A
It's a good thing to do all the time 
          D
You never know who you're talkin' to
A
But always know who's watching you
          E                             A          D A E A D A E A
Keep your feet movin' straight down the line
 
[Chorus]
      D
But I learned more on the freight docks

     A                E              A     D
Yeah somewhere in the middle is just fine
     A                E              A          D A E A D A E A
Yeah somewhere in the middle is just fine
