x[Intro]
Hit an open G on the upbeat.
C C F C F C G G (x2)
[Verse 1]
F C
Whistles the wind
F C
Blowin' my way
F C G
Sweepin' me back, back here to stay
F C
Can winners be losers?
F C
Runnin' on the same track
F C G
While some head for glory, others we crash
[Chorus]
C F C
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
F C G
The beauty in life where's it gone
C F C
And somebody told me you were doin' okay
F C G
But somehow I guess they were wrong
[Verse 2]
F C
My isolation
F C
Now there's a sobering thought
F C G
A minute alone, a lifetime too long
F C
See the face in this mirror
F C
So pale it could crack
F C G
Desperately wantin' the color it lacks
[Chorus]
C F C
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
F C G
The beauty in life where's it gone
C F C
And somebody told me you were doin' okay
F C G
But somehow I guess they were wrong
[Verse 3]
F
So you drank with the lost souls
C
For too many years
F C
Tied to their ankles now crippled with fear
F Am
Never been righteous though seldom were wrong
G
Life's only life with you in this song
Am C F G (x2)
F C
Now there's an ocean between
F C
Where I am and where I want to be
F C
So you prayers in doubt
G
Doubt not for me
[Chorus]
C F C
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
F C G
The beauty in life where's it gone
C F C
And somebody told me you were doin' okay
F C G
But somehow I guess they were wrong
C F C
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
F C G
The beauty in life where's it gone
C F C
And somebody told me you were doin' okay
F C G
But somehow I guess they were wrong
[Bridge]
F C
Whistles the wind
F C
Whistles the wind
F C
Whistles the wind
F C
Whistles the wind
[Final Verse]
F
Though you'll find your way out
C
But there's no goin' now
F
Every woman and child
C
Drags you down for the dive
F
It's not safe being free
Am
Can't give back what you feel
G C
He said you'll always be in heaven with me
