Just barely twenty with a slight frame

And a hunger for something that I couldn't name

I went running, I went running

Running barefoot into the night

I got hair the color of a silkworm's dream

The prettiest little thing that you ever did see

They come running, they come running
G A D
Anything they can do, they clamor for me

(Ohhhhh) It's a hard world

Verse 3:
D G D
It all seems such a long time ago
D G Bm
They buried my story when they filled in that hole

Nobody running, nobody running
G A Bm
Nobody trying to explain
Middle bit:
G A Bm
I wanna wake in the woods beside the lake, just
G A Bm
Resting my head, in some moss covered glen
Chorus:
G D
(Ohhhhh) It never changes
G Bm
(Ohhhhh) But we carry the weight with us
G D A
(Ohhhhh) It's a hard world
Verse 4:

Motor oil coloured hair and a white t-shirt
D G Bm
Now tan from the rust and the dirt
Bridge:
G D
Nobody calls for me, nobody hunts for me

They don't seem to know I'm gone
G D
The other girls and me resting under this tree
G Bm A Bm
Are green with envy at the attention you draw
Chorus:
G D
(Ohhhhh) It never changes
G Bm
(Ohhhhh) But we carry the weight with us
G D A
(Ohhhhh) It's a hard world
G
For the little things
A G
A hard world, oh oh oh
A Bm
A hard wor- or- or- or- old
A
For all the lost girls
End:
G D
Remember me, remember me
G A Bm
underneath this lonesome awful tree
G A Bm
Let the roots and soil drink of me
G Bm A Bm
Whispering leaves and pointing branches will tell them where I'm lying
