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
