I HEARD MY FIRST BALLAD BACK IN 1982

IT SPOKE OF TRUE LOVE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS TALKING ABOUT YOU

BUT YOU STRIPPED OUT MY HEART AND LEFT ME WITH NOTHING TO DO
F G C
CAUSE YOUR COLD HARD LIES SEEM TO BE YOUR ONLY TRUTH

AND IM TIRED OF YOUR DISHONESTY
F G
AND IM TIRED OF YOUR FALSITY
F G C
AND IM TIRED BUT NOT AS TIRED AS I AM OF YOU

SO I HEAD DOWN TO THE PUB AND GET ME A BEER
F G C
AND I SEE ON THE TV THE LIES CONTINUE IN HERE
C AM
THE POLITICIANS AND LAWYERS ARE NOTHING BUT OBTUSE
F G C
BECAUSE THE WORDS FALL OUT OF THEIR MOUTHs LIKE THEY HAVE A CLUE
F G
AND IM TIRED OF YOUR PERJURY

AND IM TIRED OF YOUR FORGERY
F G C
AND IM TIRED BUT NOT AS TIRED AS I AM OF YOU
C AM
NOW I SIT AND WAIT CAUSE SHE LEFT ME WITH NOTHING TO DO
F G C
AND I WATCH THE WORLD GO BY FULL OF LIARS AND FOOLS
C AM
AND I TRY TO ENDURE AND I TRY TO GET BACK TO MY GROOVE

REMEMBERING WHEN LIFE WAS SIMPLE AND I WAS BULLETPROOF
F G
AND IM TIRED OF YOUR TREACHERY
F G
AND IM TIRED OF YOUR CALAMITY
F G
AND IM TIRED OF YOUR FALLACY
F G
AND IM TIRED OF YOUR MENDACITY
F G C
AND IM TIRED BUT NOT AS TIRED AS I AM OF YOU
