Verse 1
C 
I just about said
F 
all there is to say
C 
I spit into the river,
G 
shine my broken leather shoes
F 
I watched the houses
G 
Am 
crumbling away
G 
And I cursed aloud the dollars
in the eyes of younger fools
Em 
Oh, I loved my woman hard
Am 
enough to break
Em 
But I lost her long before
Am 
I had the words to tell her so
F 
G 
Am 
Is anyone around to hear my thanks?
F 
G 
C 
F 
C 
F 
Is anyone around to help me go?
C 
And I've built a home of brick
F 
and boards and straw
C 
And I  locked the doors
against the wind,
G 
against the morning rain
F 
G 
Afraid to lose what I was
Am 
scared to want
G 
Afraid to hold the things I wanted
close enough to stay
Em 
While I   my children hard
Am 
enough to break
Em 
And I raised my hand in anger,
Am 
till it came down and I cried
F 
G 
Am 
Is anyone around to hear my thanks?
F 
G 
Am 
Is anyone around to make it right?
F 
G 
C 
Is anyone around to make it right?
And I shipped across the ocean in the fall
F 
C 
And I dreamed with eyes half open
G 
so I wouldn't have to sleep
F 
G 
I came back with a bruised
Am 
and purple heart
G 
And I woke up in the night
just holding tight to anything
Em 
Oh, I loved my brother hard
Am 
enough to break
Em 
And I raised my bottle up
Am 
and brought it down until I cried
F 
G 
Am 
Is anyone around to hear my thanks?
F 
G 
Am 
Is anyone around still on my side?

F 
G 
Am 
F 
G 
C 
And I sat here in this park
F 
a hundred years
C 
The magpies and the lovers
G 
going in before the stars
F 
The sleepless coming out
G 
Am 
to disappear
G 
And everyone just hoping
to find someone in the dark
Em 
Oh, I love my woman hard
enough to break
Am 
Em 
But I lost her long before
Am 
I had the words to tell her so
F 
G 
Am 
Is anyone around to hear my thanks?
F 
G 
Am 
Is anyone around to help me go?

Is anyone around to help
C

Am 
C 
F 
me go
C
