E A
A hard life makes a hard man
B A
And hard love makes a hard wife
E A
This house we built on thin ice
E
Hard luck and hard times
E A
I was born where I stand
B E
And I was raised with two strong hands
E A
I'll fight for what's mine
B E
I've never known any better times
Chorus
E A
My body's tired and growing old
B E
Like a stream train running out of coal
E A
Dreams fade without a sound
B E
Till everything you've ever loved is broken down
Chorus
