Train - Son of a Prison Guard: Guitar Chords

A                                     E
There was a mountain on the table of bills
that needed paid
F#m                               D
Dishes in the kitchen sink like dreams
that never fade.
A                    E
A wild imagination, convicts in the yard,
F#m                             D
Never enough time to make ends meet
                            A E           F#m D
So they put it on a credit card, don't we all?

You may not know just where you came from but
once upon a time
There was a carpenter, a bartender, a broken
fishing line
Just south of royalty in the town that I came from
There were architects and astronauts
But the only one she loved was a prison guard

Chorus:
              F#m          D              E
And that's the only time I ever saw true love.
  A          E               F#m  E
America's a girl I liked in Georgia
 D              A           Bm
London kept me warm up in Eugene.
            A            E
I guess my mother bless her heart,
        F#m               E
Set the bar too high to start.
        Bm              A/C#            D
'Cause finding love for me is just too hard
                       A
For a son of a prison guard.

There's a gate that needed painting,
clothes that needed clean
They'd say there's time enough for that
when the fun has all been seen
Cause when we're laying on our death bed,
a promise we won't say
Wish we would have worked more, baby
Instead of loving you that way, no way

Chorus:
And that's the only time I ever saw true love
Sedona is a girl I met in Brooklyn
Paris got me close in New Orleans
I guess my mother bless her heart
Set the bar too high to start
Cause finding love for me is just too hard
For a son of a prison guard

F#m                E                 D
I go wherever you are, whoever you are
                                   F#m
I go wherever you are, whoever you are
                   E                D
I go wherever you are, whoever you are
I go wherever you are

Chorus:
Betty is a girl I knew in Charlotte
Jordan left for Sydney yesterday
I guess my mother bless her heart
Set the bar too high to start
Cause finding love for me is just too hard
For a son of a prison guard
