INTRO: D A E A X 2

I live in the quarters they call it skid row
We all share the kitchen, one room is my home
This uniforms pride is worn out like my own
Still I use it to hide in, 8 hours til’ home

CHORUS:
And I think about, how it could have been better.
I can see children, a family togeather.
But now all I know, is an endless tomorrow.
So I reach for the bottle in a room I call home.

I carry my key watching over the yard
Some do it easy and some do it hard.
Once I was certain, but now I can see.
There’s not a whole lot of difference between them and me.

CHORUS

Instrumental- VERSE cHORDS X 1

Some nights I fear
I’ll be walking the landings
In the life after here. (pause)

Modified CHORUS:

And I think about, how it could have been better.
I can see children, a family togeather.
But now I’m all alone
and I’m drowning in sorrow
So I reach for the bottle
Yeah I reach for the bo–ttle in a room I call home

OUTRO: VERSE CHORDS X 1

NOTE- This is not entirely identical, as I just play this acoustically so
of course it doesn’t have the fills a full band will give it. Enjoy!!!

Intro:


If I could be your star
I would bright and light your world
I’d play a song on my guitar.

Then you could be my sky
a place where I could shine than hide
and fall into the night.

Chorus:
If I was way out far
Like a lighthouse in the dark
I’d shine an everloving light
I’d whisper songs on my guitar.

If you could be my sunrise
I’d wake to find you by my side
and gently hold you with my eyes.

The I -d be your sunset
I would close down all the bad,
but promise, the next best day ahead.

CHORUS

Bridge:
Endless Courage
Discovers why I
want to be in your life.

repeat verse 1.

Chorus

(I prefer to play the intro as the outro, as Sara’s version
has alot of instrumentals to fill the bars out)

Intro Am G Am

For thirty eight years, my life had begun
I was never a man without holding a gun
Now all that I hold is regret and I’m too old to run.
And for thirty eight years, I’ve not walked on grass
Living the life of my crimes from the past
But I’d give it all back just to lie in the arms of my love.

CHORUS :
Throw away shotgun, throw away sorrow
Live out of existence, turn good for tomorrow
I am a bank robber, and a girl I desire
I’ve changed for the better I am not a damn liar
My name’s Tommy Foster and all that I’ve robbed is my life.

And for thiry eight years, I’ve seen growm men cry
and I’ve watched them come back time after time
and I hate them for having the chance, why can’t it be mine.
And for thirty eight years, it’s long since the stars
shined into my eyes, not to care of my past
And the lady I love, you’ve found the good in my heart.

CHORUS

Bridge:
It’s three thirty again, the head miles begin
And the windows too high and I can’t see the sun
And I can’t stop this pain, so I think of you love
You’ve shown me the way, while others gave up
Oh you’ve shown me the way to what I can become.

Outro:
Oh my names Tommy Foster and all that I’ve robbed is my life
Oh my names Tommy Foster and all that I’ve robbed i-s m-y life.
