D                     A
Endlessly pacing this cold concrete floor
G              C             D
Four cold grey walls, and no doors
D                     A
I barely remember the last forty days
   G                 C          D
Or just what they're holdin' me for

[Chorus]
   D           C
So far away, they tell me:
  G          Em7     G
Boy, You're here to stay;
             D
Win, lose or draw

[Verse 2]
D                      A
Letters unanswered and visits so few
G          C       D
Cold desperation I know
D                A
I guess I'd give most anything
   G               C           G
Oh Lord, if they'd just let me go

[Chorus]
       D        C
I'm so far away
          G       Em7    G
Day after lonely, lonely day
             D
Win, lose or draw

[Verse 3]
D         A
Ma, she's dead and gone
G             C                D
Pa just don't seem to find the time
D                               A
It makes me so sad that he's forsaken me
     G              C           D
When he's all I had left I call mine

[Chorus]
       D        C
I'm so far away
          G       Em7      G
Day after lonely, lonely day
             D
Win, lose or draw

[Verse 4]
D                               A
There's two men in one room for ten long years
G                    C             D
Still strangers that talk away the time
D                                A
'Cause each time I think of your soft hand in mine
  G            C            G
I lay here and die one more time

[Chorus]
           D        C
And I'm so far away
          G       Em7    G
Day after lonely, lonely day
             D
Win, lose or draw
