She Amknows how he lives, she's Fseen it all before
Oh, he Dmtold her so with his own words, "I'Em still after more
So, at Amnight, she prays, crying Fout loud to the Lord
"What Dmkind of man revolves his plans 'rounEd searching for evermore?"
[Chorus]
He makes his Amway from the bottom, find that dollar Fout there in the cold
All the Dmwhile, she's sitting patient, waiting Efor him to come home
He says, "AmOh, my darling, I can't stop it, FI am built to roam
But so that DmI am always with you
Think of Eme out there as that blackbird on the Amporch"

He's Amfire, she's ice, and they Fsmoke out еvery day
TempoDmrary resolutions makе 'em Efeel like they're okay
He says, "AmBaby, don't you worry, soon I'll Fgive you what you want"
She don't Dmknow how long she'll be waiting for, but Eshe keeps hanging on
[Chorus]
He makes his Amway from the bottom, find that dollar Fout there in the cold
All the Dmwhile, she's sitting patient, waiting Efor him to come home
He says, "AmOh, my darling, I can't stop it, FI am built to roam
But so that DmI am always with you
Think of Eme out there as that blackbird on the porch"Am
