D

[Verse 1]
D                                  G
Tonight I went out from the kitchen
D                                      G
And looked up at the stars from the yard
      Em                       G
I was hoping to get some perspective
      A                          D
But sometimes perspective is hard
D                           G
I know my life is a blessing
D                                G
And all blessings come with a curse
    Em                    G
My enemies I know I can handle
     A                              D
But friends now, well, they can be worse

[Chorus]
         G                    D
Oh, I'm so sick and tired of keeping it inside
     G                     A
I'm so sick and tired today
   D                            G
I remember the old ones' hard travelling
         A                         D
They're with me every step of the way

[Verse 2]
D                                        G
Thousands smile when I go through my paces
D                          G
They fall at my dancing feet
     Em                            G
They like to slap my back in high places
      A                              D
They want to shake my hand on the street
D                              G
Oh, I love my beautiful children
D                                G
They clamber and climb all over me
   Em                      G
I close my eyes and I'm dreaming
      A                         D
Of a world where they can just be

[Chorus]
     G                    D
I'm so sick and tired of keeping it all inside
     G                    A
I'm so sick and tired today
    D                           G
I remember the old ones' hard travelling
         A                         D
They're with me every step of the way
     G
The old ones are walking beside me
A                           D
Each and every step of the way
