[Intro]
G G/F# Em
[Verse]
Em D Em A
Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain
G F#m Em
You can't know about everything, only pleasure and pain
Em D Em A
You wonder why I come here with head to my hands
G F#m Em
Where else can I be cured and the king of your mansion
Em G
A thorn in your side, a child to protect
D
That claims he's free
[Chorus]
D F#m A
Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven
D F#m A
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection
G Bm A
Darling come quickly, come ease my worried mind
G F#m A
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time
[Instrumental]
G G/F# Em
[Verse]
Em D Em A
I've already made my bed, like it or not
G F#m Em
As long as there's no regrets I'll be here when the ride stops
Em G
These comforts to me and these crosses to bear
D
With which we live
[Chorus]
D F#m A
Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven
D F#m A
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection
G Bm A
Baby, I can't drag you into this mess
I'm the thorn in your side and the child to protect
[Chorus]
And I'm just around the corner, half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection
Darling come quickly, come ease my worried mind
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time
[Instrumental]
Em G G/F#
