Just an interpretation of this great song. Feel Free to email me with suggestions or comments. Enjoy!
Capo 4
C
My mother once told me
Esus E
The thicker your skin,
A7sus A7
The better off you�ll be
dm
When this world brings you down
Dm/G /G#
It�s trying to control me
Am dm7
Leave me without hope
F
In the past I�ve been burned
G
But I�ve lived and I�ve learned
Chorus:
C G/B
�Neath the shelter of the pouring rain
Am G
In the absence of this fear and pain
C G/B
I will finally bid my ball and chains
Am � G
A fond farewell
C G/B
On a road that leads me to my place
Am G
Gonna rid my heart of past disgrace
F G
I will finally bid this sluggish pace
Am � G
A fond farewell�
C
I heard their reservations
Esus E
And I read their bitter words
A7sus A7
I shined a light upon their wisdom
dm
No matter how absurd
Dm/G /G#
Oh they broke my heart to pieces
Am dm7
And I questioned my own beliefs
F
My dignity was gone
G
It�s time to move on�
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
F
Say goodbye to feeling sorry for myself
To begging others for far too much help
dm
This is my hand these are the cards that I�ve been dealt
Only I can make these changes, nobody else
F
Say goodbye to these sleepless nights
Those corridors with no end in sight
dm
A driven man with these words I write
G
I�m making peace with my soul tonight
(Repeat Chorus)
