He took the picture from the wall, he handed it to me and he swore.
               G          A       Bm           G     A   Bm   *
He said "Now, I've done nothing wrong. I was framed all along.
          G          A        Bm              G        A      Bm
Now they lied right from the start when they stole my lonely heart.
         G      A        Bm             G     A       Bm   *
In the picture that you hold lies the hidden truth untold.

 D         G                  A     D          G
And I was just along for the ride. Where that train was bound I don't
 A          D Dmaj7/C# Bm                   G    A              D Dmaj7/C# Bm
Know but I'll ri---de. I just wanted to go farther than I'd been...
         G     A            Bm   *2x
Now I'm along for the ride again.

 Bm       G           A   Bm                    G  A     Bm
It was a long, cold rainy day. They kept their smiles at bay.
            G       A          Bm      G            A        Bm *
Oh, but to them it was just a game to play with my life this way.
 Bm       G         A       Bm     G        A        Bm
When the first man drew his gun, silence befell everyone. Oh, but
   G        A           Bm          G          A           Bm  *2x
A girl she ran for the door and he gunned her down to the floor.
 Bm        G         A           Bm            G          A       Bm
Now, we grabbed the loot and we rode for the posse would soon be formed.
             G        A       Bm        G          A         Bm  *
Oh, but the girl she laid so cold...as pale as the untouched snow.

 D         G                  A     D          G
And I was just along for the ride. Where that train was bound I don't
 A            D Dmaj7/C# Bm                   G    A            D Dmaj7/C# Bm
Know but I'll ri---de. I just wanted to go farther than I'd been...
         G     A            Bm  *2x
Now I'm along for the ride again.

 Bm       G            A        Bm         G            A          Bm
Now we'd ride through rain and snow, not knowing just which way to go.
         G            A       Bm         G       A       Bm  *
Oh, but this would be my last ride. I'd take my leave tonight.
 Bm     G      A             Bm          G         A            Bm
And the day before we were found, in a picture we all gathered round.
     G  A      Bm              G    A            Bm  * 3x
Four men in a line, I was the only one that was blind.
 Bm      G     A           Bm         G          A      Bm
Oh, and now I sit in this cell. I'm awaiting my day in hell.
     G        A     Bm               G     A           Bm  *
So, boy you listen good, there ain't no refuge in the hood.
 Bm        G       A       Bm           G        A       Bm
Oh, and there's nobody to blame. I'm a fool of my own acclaim.
         G           A      Bm              G         A    Bm  *
Yeah, I thought I'd been so wise but these men proved my demise.
 Bm       G          A        Bm           G       A         Bm
And the train rolls down the line for a different town each night.
        G          A        Bm      G           A       Bm  *
Oh, in search of a boy like me. In search of a youth in need.

 D         G                  A     D          G
And I was just along for the ride. Where that train was bound I don't
 A            D Dmaj7/C# Bm                   G    A            D Dmaj7/C# Bm
Know but I'll ri---de. I just wanted to go farther than I'd been...
         G     A            Bm  *4x
Now I'm along for the ride again.
