[Verse 1]

I woke up this morning

Lying under my bed

With hell's bells in my ears

A runaway truck in my head

I tried to get off the floor

But my feet wouldn't carry me

I tried to open my eyes

But the light was too bright to see

[Verse 2]

Last night

I left my lovin' woman

Told her to hit the road

To find herself another man

I don't know why it took so long

Don't know what went wrong

I only know that she is gone

A I feel good all alone

[Chorus]

Standing on my own two feet

C D Em

Taking my trouble to the street

C G

All of those years

Am Em

All of those nights

C G Am

They keep falling through your fingers

riff x3

Like a handful of sand

[Verse 3]

Now that you're gone baby

I can finally speak my mind

I never told you too much

Kept everything inside

All my life

I wished I had a home

But I held my secret baby

Like a dog holds a bone

[Chorus]

Standing on my own two feet

C D Em

Taking my trouble to the street

C G

All of those years

Am Em

All of those nights

C G Am Am

They keep falling through your fingers...

C G

All of those years

Am Em

All of those nights

C G Am

They keep falling through your fingers
