Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Hit an open G on the upbeat.

2x

Whistles the wind

Blowin' my way

Sweepin' me back, back here to stay

Can winners be losers?

Runnin' on the same track

While some head for glory, others we crash

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way

The beauty in life where's it gone

And somebody told me you were doin' okay

But somehow I guess they were wrong

My isolation

Now there's a sobering thought

A minute alone, a lifetime too long

See the face in this mirror

So pale it could crack

Desperately wantin' the color it lacks

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way

The beauty in life where's it gone

And somebody told me you were doin' okay

But somehow I guess they were wrong

So you drank with the lost souls

For too many years

Tied to their ankles now crippled with fear

Never been righteous though seldom were wrong

Life's only life with you in this song

2x

Now there's an ocean between

Where I am and where I want to be

So you prayers in doubt

Doubt not for me

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way

The beauty in life where's it gone

And somebody told me you were doin' okay

But somehow I guess they were wrong

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way

The beauty in life where's it gone

And somebody told me you were doin' okay

But somehow I guess they were wrong

Whistles the wind

Whistles the wind

Whistles the wind

Whistles the wind

Though you'll find your way out

But there's no goin' now

Every woman and child

Drags you down for the dive

It's not safe being free

Can't give back what you feel

He said you'll always be in heaven with me
