[Verse 1]
   Em
In a dark and lonely corner
   C
Of a time-worn dockside inn
      Em
Sits the local barstool warrior
A
Talking to his gin
Em
Tracing past decisions
  C
He motions for a shot
Em                        Am
Is he doomed to be a man this world forgot?
      F                   G
Just a prisoner of the monster on his back
 
 
[Chorus]
          C    G
Call it bad luck, call it fate
      F               Fm
Call it stuck here the rest of my days
         C
Serves me right
         Gm
What went wrong?
     G     F Eb G  F
And where do I belong?
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Em
In the glow of flashing lights
       C
On the shoulder of the road
Bm                                  Am
Clutching at the bruises on her skin
Em
She tries to signal danger
    C
With anguish in her eyes
D                                   Am               F
Will he see the world of pain she's in?
            G
Or is it too late?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
[Interlude]
end with Eb A# Cm
 
[Bridge]
Gm Eb F Dm x3
Gm Eb F
 
[Bridge]
       Gm                Eb            F
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty
Dm                     Gm
Never accepting the blame
 Eb                            F
And not letting go of the shame
 
same chords progression
 
A river of tears as months turn to years, all wasted
On someone not willing to change
Now only a shadow remains
 
Dm           F
No one can save you
             Gm         F
And there's no one to save
Dm                F
It has been written
Cm            Bb        Am
You will become all you think
    Adim                G
All you feel, all you dream
 
 
[Outro]
G                             C
Now I'm cutting the anchor away
         Cm            G
And I won't look back
     Dm                   Eb                      C
I'm starting a new life today
Eb      F             Gm
Now I see where I belong
