[Verse]

 Am           G        F   
Days are all long the years  
         C 
they're short 
 Am          G         F        C
Home's down South I'm stuck up North
 Am           G              F   C
Working on a living for the family
 Am              G   
Wishin' I could give 
           F      C
'em all a fantasy 
 
 Am            G         F          C
Times are all tough the works real hard
 Am                G            
I've been pulling doubles in the 
 F       C
Norfolk yard
 Am               G    F           C
Trying to find a way away from it all
 Am              G       F               F
Waiting for the day the curtain may fall
 
 
[Chorus]

     Am       G        F      C
It's all the way it's always been
 Am       G            F        C
Work all day 'til the days all spent
         Am      G            F      C
Can't afford to break so you always bend
 
     Am       G        F      C
It's all the way it's always been
      Am       G         F      C
It's back and forth and back again
     Am       G          F       F
It's all the way it's always been
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse]

              Am             
They say the futures looking 
 G         F     C
bleak well so am I
        Am             G          
Try to catch a little sleep in the 
 F             C
middle of the night
 Am             G              F        C
Catch a little glimpse of the good old days
 Am              G            F     C
Wondering why I ever let 'em slip away
 
 Am          G          F       C
Money ain't much for a beat up heart
Am                 G             
I've been pulling hair out in the 
 F       C
Norfolk yard
 Am        G          F        C
Under the gun and I'm over it all
 Am              G   
Waiting for the day 
            F            F
I'll get a better call
 
 
[Chorus]

     Am       G        F      C
It's all the way it's always been
 Am       G            F        C
Work all day 'til the days all spent
         Am      G            F      C
Can't afford to break so you always bend
 
     Am       G        F      C
It's all the way it's always been
      Am       G         F      C
It's back and forth and back again
     Am       G          F       F
It's all the way it's always been

Homes down South I'm stuck up North

Wishing I could give 'em all a fantasy
