Thirty Summers

A  D  A  E  A  D  A  E  A

A                     D
Caught in the vice of heaven and 
earth
 A                        E
He turned his life into a cell
A                             D
Imprisoned by the doubts that hound 
us all
          A          E           
And the desires that we all know so 
A
well
    F#m          A           
His days lost to promises, his 
  D                   A
nights he purged of dreams
         A                        
And he'd wake in the hours before 
E
sunrise
              D      E      A
And dread the coming of the day

A                           D
Never thought a man could become so 
desperate
A                               E
Never thought a life could lose so 
much hope
      A                    D
To be tearing at the roots around 
you
         A            E       
As if in manacles, or irons, or 
  A
ropes
     F#m             A             
They say he told his children that 
D                 A
all he taught was lost
     A                  E
That love and pride and honesty
     D         E          A
Were gained at too high a cost

          A                        
It's been thirty summers that I've 
D
spent with him
      A                     E
And I expect thirty more to pass
       A                     D
He has blessed my life in so many 
ways
             A     E       A
That I could never turn my back
    F#m                    A
But I need just one more reminder
       D                   A
Of the man that he used to be
            A                E
If he would just look deep into my 
eyes
             D              E     
And say it's in you my love that I
               A
 will find the key.
