Pride And Joy

Intro: F#m5  F#m  D  A  E

A
Time of day I can't recall,
                                   F#m
the kind of thing that takes its toll.

Over years and over time,
                      D
over smiles and over wine.
                       A
All in all it wasn't bad,
                       E
all in all it wasn't good,
              E7
but I still care.

A
That's the problem with the days
                              F#m
they're never long enough to say,

what it is you never said,
                          D
all the books you never read.
                         A
I throw myself into the wind
                       E
hoping somebody might pick me up
                E7
and carry me again.

A              F#m
Where are you now?
             D
you let me down?
                A           E
Do you make me grieve for you?
A               F#m
Do I make you proud?
               D
Do you get me now?
          A         E
Am I your pride and joy?

A
I believe this to be true
                                 F#m
there's nothing sacred, nothing new.

No one tells you when its time.
                              D
There are no warnings, only signs.
                          A
Then you know that you're alone,
                         E
you're not a child anymore,
                   E7
but you're still scared.

A
All your mountains turn to rocks.
                          F#m
All your oceans turn to drops.

They are nothing like you thought;
                               D
you can't be something you are not.
                         A
Life is not a looking glass.
                          E
Don't get tangled in your past,
                       E7
like I am learning not to.

A             F#m
where are you now?
                D
Do you let me down?
                A         E  A
Do you make me grieve for you?

A               F#m
Do I make you proud?
               D
Do you get me now?
           A        E   A
Am I your pride and joy?
