[Verse]
Bb                                    Eb
Even if I knew which way the wind was blowing
Bb                             Gm      Eb
Even if I knew this road would lead me home
Bb                                  Eb
Even if I knew for once where I was going
Cm           Gm           Eb
I'm lost out here without you


Eb          F                   Bb
Rocking the baby by that window there
C#           Eb          G#
Planting tomatoes in the yard
B            C#              F#
Naked by the mirror putting up your hair
           E     Bsus4
Baby, it's hard


Gm                 Eb                 Dm        Gsus4
When the kids came to see you for the last time
Cm
I told them not to bring the children
Gm
The husbands, or the wife
D                       D7          Gm
I said, "Just the blood this time. Just the blood."
D
They asked to be alone with you
Eb                           D7
So I left them alone, but I didn't go far

[Verse]
                Gm      Gm7
They said, “Has he been drinking again?
Eb          Ebsus2
He stumbled out the door
Gm            Gm7
He can't take care of himself, Mama
Eb          Ebsus2
We can't do this anymore.”

Gm
You said, “Hush up, children
Eb
Let me breathe
Dm                                  G    Gsus4
I've been listening to you all your life
Csus4
Are they hungry, are they sick?
Gm
What is it they need?
              Am       D7       Gm
Now it's your turn to listen to me

Gm                   Dm
“I was young when we met
F                 Eb
And afraid of the world
Bb
Now it's he who's afraid
        Gm/D     D7
And I'm leaving

[Verse]
Eb             A                   D
“Make sure he sleeps in his bed at night
C#            G             C
Don't let him sleep in that chair
Bb                  E            A
If he holds out his hand to you, hold it tight
G
If that makes you uncomfortable
G
Or if it embarrasses you
F#
I don't care.”

Bb                                    Eb
Even if I knew which way the wind was blowing
Bb                              Gm     F
Even if I knew this road would lead me home
Bb                                   Eb
Even if I knew for once where I was going
Cm           Gm
I'm lost out here
Ebmaj7              Cm
Baby, I'm lost out here
Cm7           Gm7         Eb    Bb
I'm lost out here without you
