Am G I try and feel the sunshine F E You bring the rain Am G You try and hold me down F E With your complains Am G You cry and moan and complain F E You whine an tear Am G Up to my neck in sorrow F E The touch you bring Am C D You donʼt just step inside to 14 years Am C D So hard to keep my own head... Thatʼs what I say Am C You know... Iʼve been the beggar... D Iʼve played the thief Am C D I was the dog... They all tried to beat Chorus: Am G But itʼs been 14 years of silence D Itʼs been 14 years of pain Am G Itʼs been 14 years that are gone forever D Am G F E x2 And Iʼll never have again Am G Your stupid girlfreinds tell you F E That Iʼm to blame Am G Well, theyʼre all used-up has-beens F E Out of the game Am G This time Iʼll have the last word F E You hear what I say Am G I tried to see it your way F E It wonʼt work today Am C D You just donʼt step inside to 14 years Am C D So hard to keep my own head... Thatʼs what I say Am C You know... Iʼve been the dealer... D Hanginʼ on your street Am C D I was the dog... They all tried to beat Chorus: Am G But itʼs been 14 years of silence D Itʼs been 14 years fo pain Am G Itʼs been 14 years that are gone forever D And Iʼll never have again Am G D x2 Am C D x2 Am G Bullshit and contemplation F E Gossipʼs their trade Am G If they knew half the real truth F E What would they say Am G Well, Iʼm past the point of concern F E Itʼs time to play Am G These last 4 years of madness F E Sure put me straight Am C Donʼt get back 14 years D In just one day Am C So hard to keep my own head D Just go away Am C You know... Just like a hooker she said D Nothinʼs for free Am C Oh, I tried to see it your way Am C I tried to see it your way
