G C

Standing in the break of a yawn

Where you done left me alone

There's nothing happening to hide

G C

Sitting in the shade of the lawn

As everybody goes home

There's nothing left here to find

C D

Standing with my back to the wall

G Em

Minding the sky as it's falling all around me

C D

Listening for a break in the rain

G D

For it's not drowning my pain anymore

G C

Standing in the shade of a yard

Where everybody works hard

And everybody is dying

G C

Walking up the town boulevard

Where I'm found out as a fraud

And there's nobody who's buying

G C G D G

<Yodel> = (repeat, end on ) = <Yodel>
