Am
Cuttin' the page
C                  G  C
Things are looking up
             F         F7M
That time is out of my reach
                 F           F7M 
One drink's what lead to the change
Am
Out on my own
C                 G    C
Kicked out of the show
                 F             F7M
I'll take what's mine and I'll go
     E                E7               Am
It's just like my old brothers used to say

Am                C7              F7M
There's somethin' wrong with this world
  Fm             Am
I feel it coming on
           C7                 F7M
And contradictions take their toll
   Fm                 Am
Is that where we went wrong?
              C7
And somethin' struck me
             F7M
It struck me deep
   Fm               Am
It knocked me to my knees
       C7                F7M 
Roddy, step on back from me
 Fm
(Ah)

  Am
So man in the mirror
C            G          C
Make another home here
           F            F7M
You're put together but clear
               F             F7M 
You're lackin' substance not fear
   Am
So come right inside
C             G       C
Welcome to my new life
     F        F7M
Separation in time
    E               E7                  Am
And I can't keep it straight inside my head
