A Week From Today

Em D C  D

G                         C
Time is a funny thing you know
   D                G                C
No matter where you are it comes and goes
     D        G        C        G
I've lived my life one day at a time
Em               D            C
Time is all I've had and all I know

G                            C
Home is a state of mind it's said
     D           G                C
Four walls and a roof inside your head
   D                  G
To some it might seem strange,
        C               G
but I'm too damn old to change
        Em              D                 C
Now the warden says the state requires my bed

                G           D            G
It's been fifty years since they sent me here
      C                  D
I had forty-nine more to go
      G           C
But a week from today
        D         G        C
They'll open this gate for good
         G             C
And I'll have to walk away
         Em        D       G
But Lord knows I'd stay if I could

C G                           C
I won't last a day out there alone
     D                 G         C
This prison cell's the only home I've known
    D                 G
The world outside has changed,
        C            G
but the one inside remains
     Em             D            C
I'll have to find a way to get back home

                G           D            G
It's been fifty years since they sent me here
