[Verse]
C              Am      F
We carried you in our arms
   Dm
on Independence Day
Bb                          F
And now you'd throw us all aside
    C
and put us all away
C                       Am        F
Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun
      Dm
could treat a father so?
Bb               F
To wait upon him hand and foot
    C
and always tell him "No"


[Chorus]
E7             Am
Tears of rage, tears of grief
F                 C
Why must I always be the thief?
E7                             Am
Come to me now, you know we're so low
F           C7    Fmaj7 C
And life is brief


[Verse]
C          Am   F
It was all very painless
     Dm
When you went out to receive
Bb             F
All that false instruction
      C
Which we never could believe
C                    Am          F
And now the heart is filled with gold
   Dm
As if it was a purse
Bb                    F
But, oh, what kind of love is this
      C
Which goes from bad to worse?

[Chorus]
E7             Am
Tears of rage, tears of grief
F                 C
Why must I always be the thief?
E7                             Am
Come to me now, you know we're so low
F           C7    Fmaj7 C
And life is brief


[Verse]
C                  Am     F
We pointed you the way to go
    Dm
And scratched your name in sand
Bb                             F
Though you just thought it was nothing more
C
Than a place for you to stand
C                       Am       F
I want you to know that while we watched
    Dm
You discovered no one would be true
Bb
And I myself was among
    F
the ones who thought
   C
It was just a childish thing to do


[Chorus]
E7             Am
Tears of rage, tears of grief
F                 C
Why must I always be the thief?
E7                             Am
Come to me now, you know we're so low
F           C7    Fmaj7 C
And life is brief
