   They shut down the Golden    
         F
 Sahara Hotel
F                    C           
   Jessica says it won't be long 
           Bb             F
'til they blow it all to hell
F                          C     
   She's standing in the front 
   Bb                F
yard     cut off and skins
F                 C        
   Me and her brother we been 
                  Bb               
friends, since I can't remember 
 F
when


F                  C  Bb        
   Ain't that the way    it's 
       F
always been?
F              C                 
   Everybody sittin' around 
           Bb            F
waiting for the sun to come again


F                  C              
   A shift at the chemical plant, 
Bb                  F
  a white wedding dress
F                   C            
   I wake up every morning and I 
               Bb            F
wonder if I'm gonna pass the test
F               C    Bb         
   Try to live up to    but 
          F
she's got in mind
F                    C           
   Sometimes the pressure's so 
                   Bb           
heavy I feel like leaving it all 
   F
behind me

  Ain't that the way    that 
          F
it's always been?
F                  C             
  Laying low just long enough for
      Bb             F
 the dust to settle down
F                      C   Bb   
  The black and the white,    
                 F
the thick and the thin
F                        C       
  And hoping that He's really got
               Bb               
 the power to save us from these 
  F
sins
F             C

waiting for the sun to come again


Bb                       Dm
   I took a long walk yesterday
Gm        Am                   Dm
   To a field where I used to play
   F                            
I saw myself in the corner of my 
  Bb
mind
                             C
I was twelve years old and blind
                           Bb
To the big wheel and the grind

  Ain't that the way   that it's

 always been?
F                  C        
  Standin' at the water's edge 
                    Bb      F
waiting for the fog to clear
F             C   Bb            
  Tackle or touch,   you sink or
      F
 you swim
F                        C
