D                     A 
Endlessly pacing this cold concrete floor 
G              C             D 
Four cold grey walls, and no doors 
D                     A 
I barely remember the last forty days 
   G                 C          G 
Or just what they're holdin' me for 
   D        C 
So far away, they tell me: 
G            Em7     G                  D 
"Boy, You're here to stay; win, lose or draw" 
 
Letters unanswered and visits so few 
Cold desperation I know 
I guess I'd give most anything 
Oh Lord, if they'd just let me go 
I'm so far away 
Day after lonely, lonely day 
Win, Lose or Draw 
 
Ma, shes dead and gone 
Pa just don't seem to find the time 
It makes me so sad that he's forsaken me 
When he's all I had left I call mine 
I'm so far away 
Day after lonely, lonely day 
Win, lose or draw. 
 
There's two men in one room for ten long years 
Still strangers that talk away the time 
'Cause each time I think of your soft hand in mine 
I lay here and die one more time 
And I'm so far away 
Day after lonely, lonely day 
Win, Lose or Draw
